How we handle extract fan cleaning in Force Green
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You’ll know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. If you’re dealing with grease around the motor and its mounts and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, we can help, from centrifugal fans, fan housings and in-line fans onwards.
Kitchens in Force Green, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

- A motor that has burnt out

What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Force Green saves time on the night.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Extract fan cleaning around Force Green
The FSA’s data shows about 7 pubs and bars registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Force Green. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service. Force Green sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Quebec House is about 0.8 miles south), access may need planning. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Tandridge Priory is the nearest hospital to Force Green, about 2.7 miles south-west.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Force Green
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The size of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
When we’ve finished, the fan is reassembled and run. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Listen to the fan. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Force Green?
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. The grease that is left lands on the blades and the casing where the spinning blades spread it around.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Force Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

Force Green: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for work in Force Green?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Force Green, and about any building rules on loading. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Can the work in Force Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Force Green keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
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.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
A common cause is grease. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
What happens if it’s left?
Cleaning the fan in Force Green now is a short job: it takes an hour or two for most single fans. Waiting adds vibration, wear and a harder clean. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
