How we handle extract fan cleaning in Putney Vale
A clean fan is not a repaired fan. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we will tell you and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. Common call-outs are for grease escaping from the fan outlet and less air being pulled from the kitchen, across discharge points, fan housings and roof-mounted fans.
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 Putney Vale, that usually means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, so grease and wear build up together. Regular cleans help it keep going.
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface, so the outlet area is checked too. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
The process
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. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes an hour or two for most single fans. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we are happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Putney Vale.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Advice
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Putney Vale
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Kitchen extracts in Putney Vale
Look up Putney Vale on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 35 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 8 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Putney Vale, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading is not affected. Kitchens in Putney Vale get their food hygiene inspections from Kingston-Upon-Thames council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Southside House is about 1.5 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Hall School Wimbledon or anywhere near Putney Vale, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Putney Vale: your questions answered
Does London parking affect a job in Putney Vale?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Putney Vale, and about any building rules on loading. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Which council inspects kitchens in Putney Vale?
Kitchens in Putney Vale are inspected by Kingston-Upon-Thames council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
The fan must be isolated, for safety. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking is not affected.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
The fan follows the full system’s interval at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Grease readings and the fan’s condition can show it needs more.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
