For a kitchen in or near Lower Burgate, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Lower Burgate
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The size of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos 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. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A motor that has burnt out
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- Wiring faults to the fan
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
- Fan housings
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
Multi-site and managed buildings
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
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.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing after isolating them.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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 they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Lower Burgate, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan left out of previous cleans

Common questions in Lower Burgate
Can you get to a site in Lower Burgate?
Yes. Lower Burgate is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can the work in Lower Burgate be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Lower Burgate does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
It depends on how many hours the kitchen cooks, under BESA guidance. At the extremes, that is 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
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.
