Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Furze Platt
Grease on a fan is not spread evenly. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. The work covers roof-mounted fans, in-line fans and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are a noisy fan that has got louder over time and a motor area thick with grease.
For a smaller kitchen near Furze Platt, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Your opening hours decide when we come to Furze Platt, not ours.
- 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.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Common problems we fix in Furze Platt
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing where the spinning blades spread it around.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Grease stains around the discharge
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A fan shaking on its mounts
For kitchens close to Furze Platt station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.

Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.

What the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them and we check the area around the outlet. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
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.
What staff can safely do
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. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
