About our extract fan cleaning in Luxted
Not all extract fans are the same: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. Each is isolated and opened in its own way, and we plan that during the survey. The work covers discharge points, in-line fans and fan housings, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan coated in grease inside its housing and hot, greasy smells near the fan.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Luxted is usually done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Luxted: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Luxted?
In Luxted, it’s Bromley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Luxted?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. The visit is timed for when the area is not in use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Cleaning removes grease, but it cannot fix worn parts. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
What information do you need?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Why deal with it now?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the motor runs under more strain. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
How it works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits, and we clear up before we go. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Luxted is usually out of hours.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- What state the system is in
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The scale of the work
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any previous report or certificate
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Grease, kitchens and Luxted
Food Standards Agency records list about 14 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 10 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Luxted. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. The fire and rescue service for Luxted is London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Princess Royal University Hospital about 2.9 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Down House is about 0.5 miles north), access may need planning. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Luxted, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Luxted is about 5 miles south-west of Orpington, in Greater London.
