Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: chips, distortion or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
Extract fan cleaning in Collier Row
In Collier Row, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. The result is photographed for your records. If you have rough running from the extract fan and hot, greasy smells near the fan, we can help, from discharge points, axial fans and in-line fans onwards.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in Collier Row, that typically means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. If your building in Collier Row has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Related advice
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Collier Row?
Grease condenses as the air cools, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. So grease often settles heavily there.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A heavily greased fan housing
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Oldchurch Hospital (about 1.5 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What to look for in a quote
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- If they look at the system before pricing
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- Damaged fan blades
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

What affects the quote in Collier Row
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Travel, parking and unloading
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Kitchen extracts in Collier Row
Food Standards Agency records list about 155 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 38 sandwich bars and takeaways in Collier Row and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Collier Row is covered by London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Collier Row (Hare Hall is about 1.7 miles east), fitting access panels needs care. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Rise Park Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What happens if it’s left?
Cleaning the fan in Collier Row now is a short job: it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.

Common questions in Collier Row
Who is the fire and rescue service for Collier Row?
That’s London Fire Brigade. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can a school canteen extract in Collier Row be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Collier Row, the Food Standards Agency lists about 17 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it can’t run during the clean. With the extract off, the kitchen cannot cook, so we work out of hours.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Fan repair and replacement is part of what we do. If we find wear or damage, we’ll explain it and send you a fixed quote.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, whether that’s late evening, overnight or a weekend.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
