How we price extract fan cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether several sites go on one quote
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
Extract fan cleaning in Farnborough
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we’ll tell you, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. The work covers fan housings, roof-mounted fans and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan that hums, whines or rumbles and a fan shaking on its mounts.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Farnborough 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.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What else we do in Farnborough
When to call us in Farnborough
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. The difference throws the impeller off balance, wearing bearings and mounts. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Giles the Abbot or elsewhere in Farnborough, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Farnborough: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Farnborough?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Farnborough. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Which environmental health team covers Farnborough?
In Farnborough, it’s Bromley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we will book around them.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Extract fan cleaning in Farnborough: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 14 pubs, bars and clubs across Farnborough 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 Bromley council inspect food businesses in Farnborough. 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. London jobs usually start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Farnborough (Down House is about 2.1 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care. A hospital like Orpington Hospital, about 0.9 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Farnborough is about 2 miles south-west of Orpington, in Greater London. Wherever you are in the BR6 postcode area, we can take on extract fan cleaning. Farnborough is one of 764 towns, villages and districts in Greater London we cover for commercial clients. Our London page covers sites nearby, about 12 miles away.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Part by part
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Regular cleans help it keep going.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. In a London area like Farnborough, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear the space around the work
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Why it’s worth doing now in Farnborough
The fan is part of the fire path. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Leaving it on a busy London site only adds to the work.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
