Extract fan cleaning in Coombe
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. If you’re dealing with a fan shaking on its mounts and less air being pulled from the kitchen, we can help.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Coombe is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Different parts, different methods
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. We clean them where they can be safely reached, with any limits noted.
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so the method is planned in advance. If it cannot be reached fully, the report says so.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Coombe
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Kitchen extracts in Coombe
Food Standards Agency records include about 20 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Coombe. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. In London, kitchens are normally cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier. London Fire Brigade covers Coombe. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Coombe Hill Junior School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Christ Church New Malden or elsewhere in Coombe, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

When to call us in Coombe
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
A hospital like Kingston Hospital, about 0.8 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. In a London area like Coombe, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
