We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Extract fan cleaning in Falconwood
Any fan serving a kitchen in Falconwood is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. If you are dealing with burning smells from the fan area and a fan that no longer moves enough air, we can help.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in Falconwood, that typically means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
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, ready for your insurer.

What happens on the day
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. In Falconwood, as across London, we typically work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Kitchen extracts in Falconwood
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 32 pubs, bars and clubs across Falconwood and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Bexley council inspect food businesses in Falconwood. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. London Fire Brigade covers Falconwood. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Bishop Ridley Church of England VA Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Falconwood is Memorial Hospital, about 1.4 miles north-west. Church and community hall kitchens, near Bishop Ridley Church or anywhere around Falconwood, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What else we do in Falconwood
Different parts, different methods
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so the method is planned in advance. Anything out of reach is recorded.
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: cracks, bent blades or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
Why act early in Falconwood
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. A busy site in Falconwood builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
What you get with us
- We are fully insured
- A written report with pictures after every visit
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Make sure the fan is included each time
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.

Questions from Falconwood
Can the work in Falconwood be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Falconwood does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can school kitchens in Falconwood be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 32 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Falconwood. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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.
