Extract fan cleaning in Northumberland Heath, Greater London

- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan that has never been cleaned
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
File the photo report with your other extract records. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Northumberland Heath
If the extract fan in Northumberland Heath has become noisy, weak or greasy? A few details or a photo help when you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will send you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Northumberland Heath, typically within one working day. If you have less air being pulled from the kitchen and a motor area thick with grease, we can help.
In a London area like Northumberland Heath, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Northumberland Heath
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
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.
What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit 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 Northumberland Heath.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- 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.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Move anything stored near the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote

For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Leave it or put it right?
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown and a kitchen can’t cook safely without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. In Northumberland Heath, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Every visit written up, with pictures
- Trading since 2009

Kitchen extracts in Northumberland Heath
Look up Northumberland Heath on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 82 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 77 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Northumberland Heath. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Northumberland Heath is covered by London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Northumberland Heath, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Bexley council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
School kitchens, at schools like King Henry School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Where a hall near St Paul's, or anywhere in Northumberland Heath, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Common questions in Northumberland Heath
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Northumberland Heath out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 26 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Northumberland Heath. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which fire authority looks after Northumberland Heath?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Northumberland Heath. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
You get a photo report with before and after photos of the fan. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
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. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Northumberland Heath?
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A motor area thick with grease
- Weak extraction at the canopy
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Erith and District Hospital about within half a mile north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
