Extract fan cleaning in Nuptown
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing, and that is what we clean. If you are dealing with a noisy fan that has got louder over time and weak extraction at the canopy, we can help.
Work in a small place like Nuptown starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
When to call us in Nuptown
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. When filters don’t seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
Where a hall near Church of St Michael and All Angels, or anywhere in Nuptown, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Part by part
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.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them, so the outlet area is checked too. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Multi-site and managed buildings
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.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
How we price extract fan cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The size of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Common questions in Nuptown
Can you get to a site in Nuptown?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work overnight in Nuptown?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Nuptown needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Every clean has a photo report, with anything we noticed. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
It depends on how many hours the kitchen cooks in BESA guidance. At the extremes, that is 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Visits to a village like Nuptown are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Related advice
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Leave a clear route to the fan
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
