Extract fan cleaning in Colliers Wood, done properly
In Colliers Wood, 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 are dealing with less air being pulled from the kitchen and a smell of hot grease from the extract, we can put it right.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. For a kitchen in Colliers Wood, that usually means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What affects the quote in Colliers Wood
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition of the system
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
How the job changes from site to site
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing after isolating them.
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: chips, distortion or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.

Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Do you cover Colliers Wood?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Colliers Wood included.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- File the fan’s report with your other records
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Grease, kitchens and Colliers Wood
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 39 pubs and bars and about 6 hotels and B&Bs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Colliers Wood. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Colliers Wood is London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading is not affected.
If you cook for passing trade around Tooting station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Grove Hospital (about 0.6 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

The process
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes an hour or two for most single fans. Before any visit in Colliers Wood, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Find the previous report, if there is one

More services for Colliers Wood
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Colliers Wood?
Grease condenses as the air cools, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A motor area thick with grease
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Nicholas or anywhere around Colliers Wood, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
