Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Goddington

Which fire authority looks after Goddington?

London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Goddington. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.

Do you work overnight in Goddington?

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Goddington doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.

What’s TR19?

It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.

How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Goddington?

It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.

Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?

Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.

Is the fan isolated during cleaning?

With the fan isolated, the extract is not running. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.

Do you work in Goddington?

Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Goddington included.

Extract fan cleaning in Goddington

Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. The way in depends on the type and the survey shows us how to reach it. If you are dealing with thick grease on the impeller and casing and a fan shaking on its mounts, we can put it right, from axial fans, discharge points and fan housings onwards.

In a London area like Goddington, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.

It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Goddington

Your quote is based on your site. We consider:

  • One-off work versus a regular cycle
  • Working hours and out-of-hours timing
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
  • The number of sites or systems

One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.

What we need to know

Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:

  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
  • Any previous report or certificate

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, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Part by part

Kitchens with long cooking hours

A long-hours kitchen can’t afford a fan failure. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.

Roof-mounted fans

Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them and we check the area around the outlet. We note any grease around the fan.

Extract fan cleaning in Goddington: the local picture

Look up Goddington on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 68 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 32 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Goddington, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Fire safety in Goddington falls to London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Bromley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Goddington. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.

For schools such as The Highway Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Commuter trade near Chelsfield station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Christ Church, or anywhere in Goddington, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Why act early in Goddington

An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. In Goddington, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.

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. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.

Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. 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.

For landlords and multi-site operators

Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.

Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Goddington and across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Goddington is no exception.

  1. We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
  2. With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
  3. We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
  4. Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
  5. The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
