How we handle extract fan cleaning in Gordon Hill

We’ve been trading since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. If you have a fan left out of previous cleans and thick grease on the impeller and casing, we can help.

Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. In Gordon Hill, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.

Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Gordon Hill questions

Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Gordon Hill in the summer holidays?

Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 36 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Gordon Hill. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.

Does London parking affect a job in Gordon Hill?

A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Gordon Hill makes the visit easier to plan. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.

Who has the legal duty for fire safety?

It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.

What if parts of the system can’t be reached?

Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.

What do you do with what you remove?

Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.

Are you fully insured?

Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.

Can you look after several sites?

Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.

What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?

Uneven grease on the impeller often causes it. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.

Different parts, different methods

Wall fans

Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.

Inline duct fans

Some fans are built into the duct itself. We get to them through the duct or casing, once they’re isolated.

Keeping the system healthy

Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:

  • Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
  • Report grease escaping from the fan
  • Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
  • Never cook with a filter missing

The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.

Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.

How it works

Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we’re happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Gordon Hill.

  1. The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
  2. We isolate the power before opening the housing.
  3. We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
  4. The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
  5. We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us where we can park and unload
  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
  • Clear loose items from the work area

Advice

Why it’s worth doing now in Gordon Hill

A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

Why us?

  • We’re fully insured
  • Fixed quotes, usually within one working day
  • A written report with pictures after every visit
  • CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning

There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:

  • Site rules, permits and inductions
  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • Travel, parking and unloading
  • The scale of the work

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

What to send for a quote

To speed up the quote, send us:

  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room

Want a quote for extract fan cleaning? Please phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.

What a clean won’t put right

We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:

  • Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
  • A dirty duct upstream of the fan
  • An impeller that is bent or split

Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on in Gordon Hill

  • Fan housings
  • Axial fans
  • Discharge points

Kitchen extracts in Gordon Hill

Food Standards Agency data counts about 87 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 39 takeaways in Gordon Hill and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. The fire and rescue service for Gordon Hill is 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. Food hygiene inspections in Gordon Hill are the job of Enfield council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.

A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Michael & All Angels or elsewhere in Gordon Hill, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Gordon Hill is St Michaels Hospital, about under half a mile south-east. If you run a café or takeaway near Gordon Hill station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

For landlords and multi-site operators

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.

For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
