- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and we clear up before we go. For a job in Eastfields, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Eastfields
Grease on a fan is not spread evenly. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. A thorough clean removes the cause. If you have a fan left out of previous cleans and weak extraction at the canopy, we can help.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Eastfields 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Questions from Eastfields
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Eastfields?
Eastfields 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 do you need to know about parking in Eastfields?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
A common cause is grease. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning doesn’t, the bearings or motor may need attention.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
It takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Your quote will give an idea.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Eastfields kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 194 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 93 takeaways in Eastfields and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. In Eastfields, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Merton council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Eastfields 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Wilson Hospital (about 0.9 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Church and community hall kitchens, near St. Mark's Church or anywhere around Eastfields, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Make sure the fan is included each time
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
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.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
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. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
When to call us in Eastfields
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. So grease often settles heavily there.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- A motor area thick with grease
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Weak extraction at the canopy
Commuter trade near Mitcham Eastfields station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
