Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Maze Hill
Can the work in Maze Hill be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Maze Hill out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 47 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Maze Hill, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will fit the work in.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, if the fan needs it. We’ll often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan usually means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
A single accessible fan doesn’t take long, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Maze Hill
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will send you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Maze Hill, typically within one working day. If you have a heavily greased fan housing and a fan left out of previous cleans, we can put it right.
In a London area like Maze Hill, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Maze Hill
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The size of the system
- The number of sites or systems
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
What we’re called out for in Maze Hill
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
School kitchens, at schools like John Roan School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Different parts, different methods
Fan housings and motors
Motors and their electrics are kept dry and treated with care, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so we clean what we safely can.
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so the method is planned in advance. Anything out of reach is recorded.
Maze Hill kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 394 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 155 sandwich bars and takeaways across Maze Hill and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. London Fire Brigade covers Maze Hill. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from Greenwich council inspect food businesses in Maze Hill. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Where a hall near Christ Church, or anywhere in Maze Hill, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Greenwich District Hospital about within half a mile north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. In Maze Hill, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Maze Hill.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
