Leeds extract fan cleaning
Our technicians work in Leeds on extract fan cleaning. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures on every job.
- A motor area thick with grease
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Rough running from the extract fan
Why deal with it now?
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. It’s simpler to plan the work at Leeds now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Why Leeds businesses choose us
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Fully insured
Extract fan cleaning in Leeds, done properly
In Leeds, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. The work covers fan housings, roof-mounted fans and axial fans, and the jobs we see most are grease around the motor and its mounts and vibration from an unbalanced impeller.
Work in a small place like Leeds starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Leeds
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Leeds: your questions answered
Can you come to Leeds after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Will you come out to Leeds?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How long is a fan clean?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. Typically it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Damaged fan blades
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A motor that has burnt out
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers

- In-line fans

Extract fan cleaning in Leeds: the local picture
Food Standards Agency data counts about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Leeds. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Food hygiene inspections in Leeds are the job of Maidstone council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Leeds. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
A hospital like KIMS hospital, about 3.4 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Nicholas's Church or elsewhere in Leeds, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Leeds is about 4 miles east of Maidstone, in Kent. We provide extract fan cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Leeds and the rest of Kent. We cover 922 places across Kent, large and small.
We work across the ME17 postcode area for extract fan cleaning and the streets around it. Whether your site is on Brogden Crescent, Forge Lane and Gloriette Avenue or anywhere close by, we can help. We also cover the places around Leeds: Ashbank (1 mile north-east), Broomfield (1 mile east), Eyhorne Street (1 mile north-east), Chartway Street (2 miles south) and Kingswood (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Maidstone (4 miles west), Ashford (13 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (9 miles north-east), Tonbridge (15 miles west), Faversham (13 miles east) and Minster (15 miles north-east).
Local landmarks in Leeds
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to The George Inn. The nearest railway station is Hollingbourne station, about 1.6 miles north-east of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Leeds Castle (1 mile east) and KIMS hospital (3.4 miles north-west). Not far away are Detling Hill.
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.
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: chips, distortion or wear. We note any concerns.
How the visit works
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. The work on site takes an hour or two for most single fans, and we clear up before we go. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Leeds, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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.

Common problems we fix in Leeds
How fast a fan gets greasy in Leeds depends on the cooking: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Leeds and Broomfield Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
