What extract fan cleaning looks like in Norbury
Food Standards Agency records list about 179 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 174 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Norbury. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Norbury is covered by London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Kensington Avenue Primary School or anywhere near Norbury, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A kitchen near Norbury station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

About our extract fan cleaning in Norbury
In Norbury, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. The work covers discharge points, roof-mounted fans and centrifugal fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan coated in grease inside its housing and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. In Norbury, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Questions from Norbury
Can you come to Norbury after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Norbury keeps running as normal. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Norbury?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Norbury. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Norbury?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
A common cause is grease. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.
What affects the quote in Norbury
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How big the system is
- The condition we find in the survey
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
If you need extract fan cleaning in Norbury, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A motor that has burnt out
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Discharge points
- Fan housings
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
- Axial fans
- Roof-mounted fans
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Run the extract throughout cooking
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. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Norbury needs from us.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

What we are called out for in Norbury
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan, wearing bearings and mounts. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
What we are most often called out for:
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Oswald or elsewhere in Norbury, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they carry
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- What paperwork you get at the end
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
Why deal with it now?
For a kitchen in Norbury, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. If the fan is coated, the duct before it usually is too so a full TR19 clean may be due. In Norbury, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: cracks, bent blades or wear. We note any concerns.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
