Extract fan cleaning in Moor Park

Extract fan cleaning in Moor Park, done properly

A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. We are often asked to deal with grease around the motor and its mounts and a fan shaking on its mounts, across centrifugal fans, discharge points and fan housings.

In a London area like Moor Park, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.

Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What a clean won’t put right

Extract fan cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not put right:

  • A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
  • A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
  • Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)

If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Where we work

  • Axial fans
  • Discharge points
  • In-line fans
  • Fan housings
  • Roof-mounted fans
  • Centrifugal fans

Managing agents and facilities teams in Moor Park

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.

Looking after it afterwards

After the visit, a few habits help the work last:

  • Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
  • Keep access to the fan clear
  • Check filters are seated before cooking
  • Watch for grease marks around the outlet

We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.

Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.

Moor Park questions

Does London parking affect a job in Moor Park?

London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit typically gets round them.

Do you clean school canteen extracts around Moor Park out of term?

Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 14 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Moor Park. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.

Who is the responsible person?

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.

Are you insured?

Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.

Is the fan isolated during cleaning?

The fan must be isolated before anyone touches it. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking is not affected.

Is TR19 a legal requirement?

No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.

Where does the waste go?

It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.

What we’re called out for in Moor Park

How fast a fan gets greasy in Moor Park depends on the cooking: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
  • An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
  • Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
  • A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease

A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Holy Trinity Church or elsewhere in Moor Park, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Questions to ask before booking

What the work involves, part by part

Fan housings and motors

The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.

Inline duct fans

Some fans are built into the duct itself. We get to them through the duct or casing, once they’re isolated.

Moor Park kitchens: local notes

The Food Standards Agency lists about 8 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Moor Park. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Moor Park is covered by London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Moor Park get their food hygiene inspections from Hillingdon council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

A hospital like Mount Vernon Hospital, about 0.7 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Headstone Manor, about 3.9 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Moor Park; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Moor Park is about 2 miles south-east of Rickmansworth, in Greater London. From the centre of Moor Park to the outskirts, extract fan cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building. 764 places in Greater London are on our list, large and small. London is in our area too, about 17 miles from Moor Park.

What affects the quote in Moor Park

We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:

  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
  • Parking and loading at the site
  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • A single visit or a regular plan

You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll talk you through it.

What to send for a quote

When you contact us, it’s useful to have:

  • A few general shots of the system
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • Any previous report or certificate

To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will normally have a quote within one working day.

How the visit 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. The visit takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Moor Park is no exception.

  1. We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
  2. It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
  3. Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
  4. Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
  5. It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Ask for a quote

Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
