How we handle extract fan cleaning in Longlands
If the extract fan in Longlands has become noisy, weak or greasy? A few details or a photo help when you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will give you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Longlands, normally within one working day. Common call-outs are for a heavily greased fan housing and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, across axial fans, discharge points and centrifugal fans.
Kitchens in Longlands, 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.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Kitchen extracts in Longlands
The Food Standards Agency lists about 30 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses in and around Longlands, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service. In Longlands, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Bexley council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run a café or takeaway near New Eltham station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Longlands is Queen Mary's Hospital, about 1 mile south-east.

Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
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.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
FAQs for Longlands
Is parking a problem for work in Longlands?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit typically gets round them.
Can a school canteen extract in Longlands be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 29 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Longlands. You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so you don’t have to close during trading.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Common problems we fix in Longlands
How fast a fan gets greasy in Longlands depends on the cooking: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
For schools such as Longlands Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The times the site is available
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced 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 will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
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. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
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 play a part.

Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)

How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Most London sites cannot stop for the day, so work in Longlands is typically done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
