How we handle extract fan cleaning in Kevington
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a fan can also need attention on its own, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. Common call-outs are for fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and a smell of hot grease from the extract, on axial fans, discharge points and centrifugal fans.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Kevington is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the quote in Kevington
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The times the site is available
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- What state the system is in
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The site address and the type of premises
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
For extract fan cleaning in Kevington, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
What happens if it’s left?
A fan clean in Kevington does not take long: the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. A busy site in Kevington builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Why us?
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover

The process
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. For a job in Kevington, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Kevington and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Kevington questions
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Kevington in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Kevington, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will fit the work in.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Kevington?
Food hygiene inspections in Kevington are carried out by Bromley council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
Kevington kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Kevington. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. London Fire Brigade covers Kevington. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In London, kitchens are usually cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Lullingstone Castle is about 3.2 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. For schools such as Manor Oak Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Unity Church, or anywhere in Kevington, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Kevington is about 1 mile east of Orpington, in Greater London. Whether your site is in the middle of Kevington or further out, extract fan cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building.
