How we handle extract fan cleaning in Lower Morden
In Lower Morden, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. If you have grease stains around the discharge and vibration from an unbalanced impeller, we can help.
In a London area like Lower Morden, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Why act early in Lower Morden
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Why Lower Morden businesses choose us
- Fully insured
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- We diagnose before we treat
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- File the fan’s report with your other records
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.

What affects the quote in Lower Morden
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition we find in the survey
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes an hour or two for most single fans. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Lower Morden.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Get a fixed quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Kitchen extracts in Lower Morden
Food Standards Agency records include about 17 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Lower Morden. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Kitchens in Lower Morden get their food hygiene inspections from Merton council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Lower Morden is covered by London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St. Anthony's Hospital is the nearest hospital to Lower Morden, about 0.6 miles south. Where a hall near St Martin's, or anywhere in Lower Morden, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Grease stains around the discharge
For kitchens close to St Helier station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
FAQs for Lower Morden
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Lower Morden?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Lower Morden. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
How do you handle parking and loading in Lower Morden?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum, under BESA guidance. At the extremes, that is 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes. 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.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
