Extract Fan Cleaning in Middle Park
We cover Middle Park for extract fan cleaning. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos as standard.
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A motor area thick with grease
- Grease stains around the discharge
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Middle Park
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. If you are dealing with thick grease on the impeller and casing and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan, we can help, from centrifugal fans, fan housings and roof-mounted fans onwards.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. In Middle Park, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the job changes from site to site
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
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.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How big the system is
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Extract fan cleaning in Middle Park: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 24 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Middle Park. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Fire safety in Middle Park falls to London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from Bromley council inspect food businesses in Middle Park. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.

When to call us in Middle Park
Grease condenses as the air cools, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
What we are most often called out for:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
A kitchen near Mottingham station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Middle Park questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Middle Park?
Kitchens in Middle Park are inspected by Bromley council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Middle Park in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 42 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Middle Park. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
We also repair and replace extract fans. If cleaning shows a worn motor, bearings or impeller, we’ll tell you and quote for the repair.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
It has to be off and isolated before anyone touches it. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking is not affected.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Leave it or put it right?
Cleaning the fan in Middle Park now is a short job: it takes an hour or two for most single fans. Waiting adds vibration, wear and a harder clean. It’s better booked as a planned job in Middle Park than handled as an emergency.
No two sites are the same, 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.
