Morden extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning for Morden, with a survey first and a report with pictures at the end. Call for a fixed quote.
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Morden.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.

Extract fan cleaning in Morden
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. A thorough clean removes the cause. If you have a fan that has never been cleaned and thick grease on the impeller and casing, we can put it right, from discharge points, axial fans and centrifugal fans onwards.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Morden is normally done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What happens if it’s left?
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen can’t cook safely. Many fan problems start with grease, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. In a London building, a problem in a duct, damper or fan rarely stays in one unit.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Report rattles or humming early
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Common problems we fix in Morden
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Rough running from the extract fan
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St. Anthony's Hospital (about 1 mile south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’ll tell you before we start. It does not solve:
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A motor that has burnt out
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

FAQs for Morden
Can parking be tricky for a job in Morden?
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.
Can the work in Morden be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Morden keeps running as normal. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We can repair or replace it, and if it fails outright, our 24/7 emergency line is there.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
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 isn’t affected.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, where it makes sense. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.

Extract fan cleaning in Morden: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 152 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 62 takeaways across Morden and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Fire safety in Morden falls to 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. In London, kitchens are usually cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Morden Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Lawrence Church or elsewhere in Morden, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
