Extract fan cleaning in Leyton Grange, done properly
If the extract fan in Leyton Grange has become noisy, weak or greasy? A few details or a photo help when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and you will get a fixed price, usually within one working day. If you have thick grease on the impeller and casing and less air being pulled from the kitchen, we can put it right.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. In Leyton Grange, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we are happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Leyton Grange.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system

Advice
Common problems we fix in Leyton Grange
A fan in Leyton Grange builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: 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.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
A hospital like Homerton University Hospital, about 1.5 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- When the next visit should be, and why
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Leyton Grange and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Common questions in Leyton Grange
What do you need to know about parking in Leyton Grange?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Leyton Grange makes the visit easier to plan. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Leyton Grange?
Food hygiene inspections in Leyton Grange are carried out by Waltham Forest council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.

What affects the quote in Leyton Grange
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- How big the system is
- The times the site is available
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site rules, permits and inductions
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
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. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. Planning ahead in Leyton Grange lets you pick a quiet night rather than lose a busy one.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Make sure the fan is included each time
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
What the work involves, part by part
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Regular cleans help it keep going.
