Extract fan cleaning in Norwood New Town, done properly
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we’ll tell you, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You’ll know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. If you have a motor area thick with grease and hot, greasy smells near the fan, we can help, from roof-mounted fans, in-line fans and axial fans onwards.
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. For a kitchen in Norwood New Town, that normally means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself 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 Norwood New Town needs from us.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

How the job changes from site to site
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing, once they’re isolated.
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. We clean it along with the blades.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Norwood New Town
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A heavily greased fan housing
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
A hospital like St Christopher's Hospice, about 1.5 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Norwood New Town questions
Who inspects food businesses in Norwood New Town?
Food hygiene inspections in Norwood New Town are carried out by Croydon council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire authority looks after Norwood New Town?
Norwood New Town is in the area of London Fire Brigade. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so the site doesn’t lose a service.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Keep access to the fan clear
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Make sure the fan is reachable. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
