Extract fan cleaning near Loughborough Junction

Loughborough Junction: your questions answered

Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Loughborough Junction?

It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Loughborough Junction. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.

Can you work in Loughborough Junction outside opening hours?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Loughborough Junction keeps running as normal. When you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.

Can you clean the fan on its own?

Yes, where it makes sense. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.

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.

What do you do to protect the area?

Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.

Are you accredited?

CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.

Will we have to shut during the visit?

Not normally. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.

What happens to the waste?

Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.

Extract fan cleaning in Loughborough Junction

We have been trading since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers axial fans, discharge points and centrifugal fans, and common reasons people get in touch are grease around the motor and its mounts and grease escaping from the fan outlet.

Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in Loughborough Junction, that normally means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.

The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Honest limits

An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan cleaning won’t do:

  • Grease in the canopy and ductwork
  • A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
  • A fan that will not start

If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.

Where we work

  • Axial fans
  • Centrifugal fans
  • In-line fans
  • Fan housings
  • Discharge points
  • Roof-mounted fans

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

Kitchen extracts in Loughborough Junction

The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 119 pubs and bars and about 10 hotels and guest houses in and around Loughborough Junction, 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. Kitchens in Loughborough Junction get their food hygiene inspections from Lambeth council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. London jobs typically start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.

Church and community hall kitchens, near St Matthew's Camberwell or anywhere around Loughborough Junction, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. A kitchen near Loughborough Junction station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. School kitchens, at schools like St Saviour's Church of England Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Aftercare tips

So the system stays in good health:

  • Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
  • Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
  • Check filters are seated before cooking
  • Keep access to the fan clear

We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.

Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.

How it works

A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we’re happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Loughborough Junction.

  1. First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
  2. Once isolated, we open the fan up.
  3. Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
  4. We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
  5. The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.

How to prepare

  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions
  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Advice

What the work involves, part by part

Kitchens with long cooking hours

A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, so grease and wear build up together. Regular cleans help it keep going.

Fan housings and motors

Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. We clean it along with the blades.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Loughborough Junction

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Loughborough Junction

The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:

  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
  • The condition of the system
  • Where the site is and how we reach it
  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

What to send for a quote

Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:

  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
