In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Ivybridge
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan, and that is what we clean. If you are dealing with thick grease on the impeller and casing and a motor area thick with grease, we can help.
Kitchens in Ivybridge, 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, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: 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. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which 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 Ivybridge is no exception.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Related advice
Part by part
Wall fans
Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
FAQs for Ivybridge
Do you work overnight in Ivybridge?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Which fire service covers Ivybridge?
That is London Fire Brigade. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. 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.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
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.
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 provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. File it with your other extract records.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Ivybridge
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. The grease that’s left lands on the blades and the casing where the spinning blades spread it around.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A fan that has never been cleaned
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Ivybridge (Richmond House is about 1.1 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.

What happens if it’s left?
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen can’t cook safely. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. Every month a London system goes without attention adds to what has to be done later.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:

- A dirty duct upstream of the fan

Grease, kitchens and Ivybridge
Food Standards Agency records list about 319 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 101 takeaways and sandwich shops across Ivybridge and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Environmental health officers from Hounslow council inspect food businesses in Ivybridge. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. In London, kitchens are normally cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Chase Bridge Primary School or anywhere near Ivybridge, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Ivybridge is South Middlesex Hospital, about under half a mile south-east.
