How we price extract fan cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition we find in the survey
- Where the site is and how we reach it
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
Extract fan cleaning in Hampton Wick, done properly
Any fan serving a kitchen in Hampton Wick is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. Typical jobs include a fan shaking on its mounts and a noisy fan that has got louder over time, on centrifugal fans, in-line fans and roof-mounted fans.
Kitchens in Hampton Wick, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, 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.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
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.
What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. In Hampton Wick, as across London, we normally work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Leave it or put it right?
The fan is part of the fire path. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. For a site in Hampton Wick, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Part by part
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. We get to them through the duct or casing, once they’re isolated.
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and grease builds up on them unevenly. That’s what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Hampton Wick
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. So grease often settles heavily there.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A heavily greased fan housing
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Hampton Wick is Kingston Hospital, about 1.1 miles east.

Kitchen extracts in Hampton Wick

A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. In London, kitchens are normally cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier. It’s Kingston-Upon-Thames council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hampton Wick. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Where a hall near All Saints Church, or anywhere in Hampton Wick, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Common questions in Hampton Wick
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Hampton Wick in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 34 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Hampton Wick, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Does London parking affect a job in Hampton Wick?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Working overnight, as we often do in London, typically makes it simpler.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, where it makes sense. We will often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan normally means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before work begins.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
