Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in New Southgate
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Travel, parking and unloading
- What state the system is in
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Extract fan cleaning in New Southgate
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we will tell you, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. If you are dealing with grease stains around the discharge and weak extraction at the canopy, we can help, from discharge points, centrifugal fans and in-line 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. For a kitchen in New Southgate, that usually means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Report rattles or humming early
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.
Kitchen extracts in New Southgate
There are about 123 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 76 takeaways and sandwich shops in New Southgate and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. London jobs usually start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. It’s Enfield council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in New Southgate. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Coppetts Wood Hospital (about 1 mile south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. For kitchens close to New Southgate station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes an hour or two for most single fans. Expect the work in New Southgate to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Advice
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix

- A faulty speed controller or isolator
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- Axial fans
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
What we’re called out for in New Southgate
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. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A motor area thick with grease
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Paul's Church, or anywhere in New Southgate, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Why it’s worth doing now in New Southgate
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger and the motor works harder. A busy site in New Southgate builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: chips, distortion or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
Questions from New Southgate
Which environmental health team covers New Southgate?
The local authority for New Southgate is Enfield council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you work in New Southgate outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in New Southgate needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
One easily reached fan is quick, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. We plan it out of hours.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use. Some fans need attention sooner.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
