Extract fan cleaning in Mugswell, done properly
A clean fan isn’t a repaired fan. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we’ll tell you and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You’ll know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. If you have a fan that no longer moves enough air and a smell of hot grease from the extract, we can help.
In a London area like Mugswell, 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.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Mugswell
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 9 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Mugswell. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Mugswell sits within the area of 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. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected.
Where a hall near Church of Jesus Christ and the Wisdom of God, or anywhere in Mugswell, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Kingswood Primary School or anywhere near Mugswell, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A hospital like Headley Court, about 3.6 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What happens if it’s left?
A fan clean in Mugswell does not take long: it takes an hour or two for most single fans. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. In Mugswell, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
When we have finished, the fan is reassembled and run. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
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.
Questions from Mugswell
What do you need to know about parking in Mugswell?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Working overnight, as we often do in London, typically makes it simpler.
Which fire authority looks after Mugswell?
Mugswell is in the area of London Fire Brigade. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
It has to be off and isolated, for safety. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking isn’t affected.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. Anything that can’t be reached is recorded, so the record is accurate.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. It can also be wear in the bearings or motor, which our report will flag.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
What affects the quote in Mugswell
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The condition of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The number of sites or systems
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes an hour or two for most single fans, and we clear up before we go. If your building in Mugswell has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
