How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. The timing of a visit to Payden Street is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Extract fan cleaning in Payden Street, done properly
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and you’ll get a fixed price, usually within one working day. The work covers roof-mounted fans, fan housings and axial fans, and the jobs we see most are a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and hot, greasy smells near the fan.
Work in a small place like Payden Street starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Part by part
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- An impeller that is bent or split
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- In-line fans

- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
What happens if it’s left?
The fan is part of the fire path. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.

Extract fan cleaning around Payden Street

Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
