Extract fan cleaning in Lordington, done properly
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but a fan can also need attention on its own, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. If you’re dealing with vibration from an unbalanced impeller and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease, we can help.
Work in a small place like Lordington starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Why act early in Lordington
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Lordington is calmer for everyone.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Lordington
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What a clean won’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Damaged fan blades
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Lordington
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The times the site is available
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.

What else we do in Lordington
Lordington: your questions answered
Can you come to Lordington after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Lordington keeps running as normal. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like Lordington?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
The fan follows the full system’s interval, from every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours of cooking a day to every 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
A clean won’t mend wear. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, it should be. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes an hour or two for most single fans. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Lordington.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
