Fortis Green extract fan cleaning
Need extract fan cleaning in Fortis Green? We survey first, give you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, then sign off with a report and photos.
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan shaking on its mounts
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes an hour or two for most single fans, and we clear up before we go. If your building in Fortis Green has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Extract fan cleaning in Fortis Green
A clean fan is not a repaired fan. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we will tell you and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. If you have an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and weak extraction at the canopy, we can put it right.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Fortis Green is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What else we do in Fortis Green
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
File the photo report with your other extract records. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
Fortis Green questions
Which fire authority looks after Fortis Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Fortis Green is handled by London Fire Brigade. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you work at weekends in Fortis Green?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Fortis Green can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Grease on the blades and housing is one of the usual causes, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. It can also be wear in the bearings or motor, which our report will flag.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Who is the responsible person?
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 are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Fortis Green
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Parking and loading at the site

What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is

What the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
Why act early in Fortis Green
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. Leaving it on a busy London site only adds to the work.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What you get with us

- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009

Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Fortis Green
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 33 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Fortis Green. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In Fortis Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Haringey council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. London jobs usually start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Fortismere School or anywhere near Fortis Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near United Reformed Church or elsewhere in Fortis Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Heath Hall is about 1.4 miles south-west), access may need planning.

Honest limits

- A faulty speed controller or isolator

- A motor that has burnt out
