What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Extract fan cleaning in Perry Vale
A clean fan isn’t a repaired fan. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we will tell you, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. If you have rough running from the extract fan and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, we can help, from centrifugal fans, in-line fans and discharge points onwards.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Perry Vale is typically done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When to call us in Perry Vale
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.
Look out for any of the following:
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A motor area thick with grease
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Christopher's Hospice about 1.1 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
FAQs for Perry Vale
Can the work in Perry Vale be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Perry Vale?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Perry Vale. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and if it fails outright, our 24/7 emergency line is there.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
With the fan isolated, the extract is not running. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Uneven grease on the impeller often causes it. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
Allow an hour or two for most single fans. Your quote will give an idea.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: every 3, 6 or 12 months. A noisy or heavily coated fan may need it sooner.
Extract fan cleaning in Perry Vale: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records include about 34 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Perry Vale. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. London jobs typically start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. Perry Vale sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Christ Church or elsewhere in Perry Vale, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Perrymount Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Perry Vale
A fan that sounds rough in Perry Vale is often telling you the extract needs a clean. If the fan is coated, the duct before it typically is too, so it’s worth checking the whole system. In Perry Vale, 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. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Wiring faults to the fan
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points

How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Expect the work in Perry Vale to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
