Extract fan cleaning in Lower Farringdon
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing and we clean it off. If you have grease stains around the discharge and grease around the motor and its mounts, we can help.
In a small place like Lower Farringdon, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
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. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How the visit works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Lower Farringdon.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Check filters are seated before cooking
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.
Keep the route to the fan clear. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.

The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Where a hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Lower Farringdon, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Alton Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Lower Farringdon, about 2 miles north. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Bentworth Hall is about 3.5 miles north-west), access may need planning.

What else we do in Lower Farringdon
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The times the site is available
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Common questions in Lower Farringdon
Can you come to Lower Farringdon after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Lower Farringdon doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is Lower Farringdon within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Lower Farringdon is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Will we have to shut during the visit?

Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Damaged fan blades
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
