Extract Fan Cleaning in New Malden
Cleaning of kitchen extract fans, impellers, fan housings and discharge points for commercial sites in New Malden and across Greater London. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: chips, distortion or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen can’t afford a fan failure. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Extract fan cleaning in New Malden
In New Malden, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. The result is photographed for your records. The work covers centrifugal fans, roof-mounted fans and axial fans, and the jobs we see most are fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and hot, greasy smells near the fan.
Kitchens in New Malden, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Why it’s worth doing now in New Malden
For a kitchen in New Malden, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it so a full TR19 clean may be due. For a site in New Malden, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Common questions in New Malden
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in New Malden in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 24 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of New Malden. You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Which environmental health team covers New Malden?
That is Kingston-Upon-Thames council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in New Malden. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we will plan the visit around them.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
We always isolate the fan first, so it can’t start while we work. With the extract off, the kitchen cannot cook, so we work out of hours.
When to call us in New Malden
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. So grease often settles heavily there.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Grease stains around the discharge
Where a hall near New Malden Baptist Church, or anywhere in New Malden, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether they recommend a next date
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- File the fan’s report with your other records
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in New Malden
Food Standards Agency records list about 142 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 47 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of New Malden. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. London jobs typically start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. In New Malden, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Kingston-Upon-Thames council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Christ Church New Malden CofE Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A kitchen near New Malden station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Around New Malden

A little further out are Chessington Castle Hill (3.3 miles south) and Bentall Centre (1.9 miles west). Not far away are Rose Walk and Kingston Hill Road area.
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. For a job in New Malden, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
