In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Crooked Billet
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. 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. The work covers fan housings, axial fans and roof-mounted fans, and people most often call us about weak extraction at the canopy and a motor area thick with grease.
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. In Crooked Billet, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
You get before and after pictures of the impeller and housing. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
Part by part
Fan housings and motors
Motors and their electrics are kept dry and treated with care, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Long cooking hours mean more grease reaches the fan. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.
Why act early in Crooked Billet
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the motor runs under more strain. For a site in Crooked Billet, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

FAQs for Crooked Billet
Can you come to Crooked Billet after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Crooked Billet needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Crooked Billet out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 28 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Crooked Billet, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will fit the work in.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you cover Crooked Billet?
Yes. Our technicians work in Crooked Billet, as part of our area across London and the South East.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
A clean won’t mend wear. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How it works
We turn up 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 the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. If your building in Crooked Billet 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.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
