Extract fan cleaning in Lampton, done properly
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’re often asked to deal with a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, across fan housings, axial fans and centrifugal fans.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Lampton is usually done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
Part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them and we check the area around the outlet. We note any grease around the fan.
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Lampton
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Expect the work in Lampton to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
How to get a quote

Advice
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
Lampton kitchens: local notes
Look up Lampton on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 256 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 118 takeaways and sandwich shops in Lampton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Lampton is covered by London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Lampton are the job of Hounslow council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Luke or elsewhere in Lampton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. For kitchens close to Hounslow station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. School kitchens, at schools like Alexandra Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Lampton
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Lampton?
That is Hounslow council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Lampton. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you work overnight in Lampton?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Lampton keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
It has to be off and isolated, for safety. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking is not affected.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Lampton?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
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.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
