About our extract fan cleaning in Penton Corner
In Penton Corner, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. The result is photographed for your records. The work covers axial fans, in-line fans and centrifugal fans, and the jobs we see most are burning smells from the fan area and rough running from the extract fan.
Somewhere as small as Penton Corner, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

FAQs for Penton Corner
Will you come out to Penton Corner?
Yes. Penton Corner is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Penton Corner out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Penton Corner. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
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, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
How we price extract fan cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- Where the site is and how we reach it
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Penton Corner
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. The grease that’s left lands on the blades and the casing where the spinning blades spread it around.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
Where a hall near Holy Trinity Church, or anywhere in Penton Corner, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- Wiring faults to the fan
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. The timing of a visit to Penton Corner is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
