Leaves Green extract fan cleaning
Cleaning of kitchen extract fans, impellers, fan housings and discharge points in Leaves Green, surveyed first and signed off with a written report and photos. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- A heavily greased fan housing
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Expect the work in Leaves Green to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about parking and loading

Advice
About our extract fan cleaning in Leaves Green
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You’ll know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. We are often asked to deal with vibration from an unbalanced impeller and thick grease on the impeller and casing, on discharge points, in-line fans and centrifugal fans.
Kitchens in Leaves Green, 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.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

How the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
Impellers and blades
The blades of the impeller do the work, and it collects grease unevenly. That’s what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Extract fan cleaning in Leaves Green: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Leaves Green. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Kitchens in Leaves Green get their food hygiene inspections from Bromley council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Leaves Green 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.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Princess Royal University Hospital is the nearest hospital to Leaves Green, about 2.2 miles north-east. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Leaves Green (Down House is about 1.1 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
When we’ve finished, the fan is reassembled and run. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Leaves Green?
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Keston Parish Church or elsewhere in Leaves Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What affects the quote in Leaves Green
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What happens if it’s left?
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen cannot cook safely. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. In Leaves Green, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

Common questions in Leaves Green
Who inspects food businesses in Leaves Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Leaves Green are carried out by Bromley council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Does London parking affect a job in Leaves Green?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Leaves Green makes the visit easier to plan. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit normally gets round them.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we will book around them.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. That helps when the fan needs attention before the next full clean, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- An impeller that is bent or split
- A motor that has burnt out
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
