Extract fan cleaning around Malden Rushett
Food Standards Agency data counts about 31 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Malden Rushett. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service. It’s Kingston-Upon-Thames council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Malden Rushett. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Epsom Cottage Hospital about 0.8 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Chessington Community College tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

How we handle extract fan cleaning in Malden Rushett
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. Common call-outs are for thick grease on the impeller and casing and a fan shaking on its mounts, across fan housings, centrifugal fans and axial fans.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Malden Rushett is usually done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Malden Rushett.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
Why act early in Malden Rushett
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure and a kitchen cannot cook safely without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. A booked night’s work in Malden Rushett costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Malden Rushett
What do you need to know about parking in Malden Rushett?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Malden Rushett makes the visit easier to plan. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit usually gets round them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Malden Rushett?
In Malden Rushett, it’s Kingston-Upon-Thames council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
A clean won’t mend wear. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
We always isolate the fan first, so it can’t start while we work. With the extract off, the kitchen cannot cook, so we work out of hours.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Is Malden Rushett in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Malden Rushett included.
Honest limits
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When your team notices a problem 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.
