Langley Vale extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning for Langley Vale, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
Extract fan cleaning in Langley Vale
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. If you have thick grease on the impeller and casing and an extract fan with no cleaning record, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Langley Vale, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Langley Vale
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Langley Vale in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Langley Vale. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can you come to Langley Vale after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Langley Vale does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
When to call us in Langley Vale
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing where the spinning blades spread it around.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A motor area thick with grease
- Rough running from the extract fan
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Headley Court about 1.1 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
What your quote should include
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report

Other services in Langley Vale
Managing agents and facilities teams in Langley Vale
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.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- In-line fans
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
- Fan housings
- Centrifugal fans
Why act early in Langley Vale
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen can’t cook safely. Many fan problems start with grease, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- We’re fully insured
- Every job surveyed first
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day

The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Langley Vale.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it can’t 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Related advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
