Extract fan cleaning in Cubitt Town, done properly
A clean fan isn’t a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. Common call-outs are for a fan that hums, whines or rumbles and grease escaping from the fan outlet, on fan housings, discharge points and axial fans.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Cubitt Town is usually done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Common questions in Cubitt Town
Can the work in Cubitt Town be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Cubitt Town during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 39 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Cubitt Town, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. If a fan can’t be reached, the report says so, so you always know what was cleaned.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Cubitt Town?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen cannot cook while we work. That’s why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Never cook with a filter missing
You get before and after photos of the impeller and housing. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: chips, distortion or wear. We note any concerns.
Fan housings and motors
Motors and their electrics are kept dry and treated with care, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so we clean what we safely can.
Why deal with it now?
A fan clean in Cubitt Town doesn’t take long: it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Waiting adds vibration, wear and a harder clean. A building in Cubitt Town may have flats or offices above and alongside, and a fault in the system can affect them too.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What we’re called out for in Cubitt Town
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Cubitt Town as anywhere. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Grease stains around the discharge
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Christ Church, or anywhere in Cubitt Town, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. In London, kitchens are typically cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier. Kitchens in Cubitt Town get their food hygiene inspections from Greenwich council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hospital like Poplar Hospital, about 1 mile north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run a café or takeaway near Canary Wharf station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
