Medway · Extract fan cleaning
Luton extract fan cleaning
For cleaning of kitchen extract fans, impellers, fan housings and discharge points in Luton, one call is all it takes, from survey to sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
What the work involves, part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: chips, distortion or wear. We note any concerns.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Luton
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. Typical jobs include thick grease on the impeller and casing and a fan that has never been cleaned, across in-line fans, axial fans and fan housings.
Kitchens around a place like Luton are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What else we do in Luton
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Run the extract throughout cooking
If the fan needs more than a clean, we will say so plainly. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Luton, so let us know how to reach it.
- 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.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Advice
Luton questions
Which fire service covers Luton?
That’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Luton during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 28 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Luton. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
An unbalanced impeller, normally from uneven grease, is a common cause. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so the site does not lose a service.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Why deal with it now?
A fan that sounds rough in Luton is often telling you the extract needs a clean. If the fan is coated, the duct before it usually is too so a full TR19 clean may be due. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Extract fan cleaning around Luton
Luton lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 29 pubs, bars and clubs and about 7 hotels and B&Bs in and around Luton, 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. Fire safety in Luton falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. 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; Medway Maritime Hospital is the nearest hospital to Luton, about 0.7 miles north. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Saint Paul with All Saints, or anywhere in Luton, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Luton (Restoration House is about 1.8 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care.
Luton is about 1 mile north of Chatham, in Medway. Every kind of commercial site in Luton, extract fan cleaning is something we can help with. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so the site keeps running. Across Medway, we cover 68 places, Luton among them. You can also see our page for Maidstone, about 7 miles away.
All of ME4, ME5 and ME7 is covered for extract fan cleaning, from busy streets to back roads.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Luton
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The times the site is available
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
