What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

If the extract fan in Green Street Green has become noisy, weak or greasy? Tell us about it when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will send you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Green Street Green, normally within one working day. The work covers fan housings, axial fans and centrifugal fans, and people most often call us about rough running from the extract fan and grease stains around the discharge.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Green Street Green is usually done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What else we do in Green Street Green
What happens if it’s left?
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
Why us?
- We’re fully insured
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

How we price extract fan cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How many systems or sites are involved
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The postcode and the type of business
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Report grease escaping from the fan
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.
What we are called out for in Green Street Green
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan and puts strain on the bearings. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Green Street Green Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

FAQs for Green Street Green
Which fire authority looks after Green Street Green?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Green Street Green. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
How do you handle parking and loading in Green Street Green?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Green Street Green makes the visit easier to plan. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, if the fan needs it. We will often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan usually means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
Do you work in Green Street Green?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Green Street Green.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes, and that’s how we prefer to work. The visit is timed for when the area is not in use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. Typically it takes an hour or two for most single fans.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Typically not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: every 3, 6 or 12 months. A noisy or heavily coated fan may need it sooner.
When it’s something else
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A fan that will not start
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
What we work on in Green Street Green
- Roof-mounted fans

How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. For a job in Green Street Green, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
