Managing agents and facilities teams in Gallows Corner
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Extract fan cleaning in Gallows Corner, done properly
We have been trading since 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you have an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and burning smells from the fan area, we can put it right.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Gallows Corner is usually done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Different parts, different methods
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Long cooking hours mean more grease reaches the fan. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. For a job in Gallows Corner, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

FAQs for Gallows Corner
Can the work in Gallows Corner be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Gallows Corner can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Gallows Corner during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 26 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Gallows Corner. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
A clean will not mend wear. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
We always isolate the fan first, so it cannot start while we work. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Uneven grease on the impeller often causes it. After cleaning, we will tell you if wear or damage is also involved.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Grease, kitchens and Gallows Corner
Look up Gallows Corner on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 95 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 34 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Gallows Corner. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. London jobs normally start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. Food hygiene inspections in Gallows Corner are the job of Havering council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run a café or takeaway near Gidea Park station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Michael and All Angels Church or elsewhere in Gallows Corner, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The condition of the system
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
- Any permits to work or inductions
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Gallows Corner
A greasy fan in Gallows Corner is fuel at the end of the duct. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A heavily greased fan housing
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Grease stains around the discharge
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Harold Wood Hospital (about 0.6 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
