Horn Park extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning for Horn Park and the surrounding area: diagnosis first, then a fixed quote, the work and a report with pictures. Call for a fixed quote.
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
Why deal with it now?
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Leaving it on a busy London site only adds to the work.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

How we handle extract fan cleaning in Horn Park
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. A thorough clean removes the cause. We are often asked to deal with thick grease on the impeller and casing and a fan that no longer moves enough air, on fan housings, roof-mounted fans and discharge points.
In a London area like Horn Park, 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, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Keep the route to the fan clear. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Horn Park
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Horn Park
A greasy fan in Horn Park is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan shaking on its mounts
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Saviour or elsewhere in Horn Park, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

When something else is needed
Extract fan cleaning can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- Wiring faults to the fan
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Axial fans
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
How the job changes from site to site
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. We get to them through the duct or casing, once they’re isolated.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, and anything we cannot reach is recorded.
FAQs for Horn Park
What do you need to know about parking in Horn Park?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Can school kitchens in Horn Park be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 41 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Horn Park. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
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 so parts stay in use.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Horn Park?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
We always isolate the fan first, so it can’t run during the clean. With the extract off, the kitchen can’t cook, so we work out of hours.
Extract fan cleaning around Horn Park
Food Standards Agency data counts about 168 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 94 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Horn Park. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Kitchens in Horn Park get their food hygiene inspections from Greenwich council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. London jobs usually start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Horn Park Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Eltham Community Hospital (about 1.2 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Horn Park is about 1 mile west of Eltham, in Greater London. Horn Park gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with photos. Our Greater London coverage runs to 764 places, Horn Park among them. We also work in London, around 6 miles away.

What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: 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, and that takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. In Horn Park, as across London, we normally work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear the space around the work
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
