Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Coombe Hill
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found so you get a clean bill of health. Typical jobs include a fan that hums, whines or rumbles and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan, across fan housings, in-line fans and axial fans.
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 Coombe Hill, that usually means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Grease, kitchens and Coombe Hill
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 20 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Coombe Hill. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. London Fire Brigade covers Coombe Hill. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Coombe Hill are the job of Kingston-Upon-Thames council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Robin Hood Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Coombe Hill (Pembroke Lodge is about 1.5 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care.
Coombe Hill is about 2 miles north-east of Kingston upon Thames, in Greater London. Across the SW15 area, we can take on extract fan cleaning. We cover 764 places across Greater London, large and small. For sites nearby, see our London page (9 miles or so).

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Coombe Hill.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

What affects the quote in Coombe Hill
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- The condition of the system
- The size of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Any permits to work or inductions
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
If you need extract fan cleaning in Coombe Hill, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What happens if it’s left?
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. In Coombe Hill, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Coombe Hill
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Coombe Hill, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
How the job changes from site to site
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them and we check the area around the outlet. We note any grease around the fan.
Wall fans
Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.
FAQs for Coombe Hill
How do you handle parking and loading in Coombe Hill?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Coombe Hill?
Coombe Hill is in the area of London Fire Brigade. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
It depends on how many hours the kitchen cooks in BESA guidance. At the extremes, that is 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
