Raynes Park: your questions answered
Can you come to Raynes Park after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Raynes Park needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Raynes Park?
That’s London Fire Brigade. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
How long is a fan clean?
It takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use. Some fans need attention sooner.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Extract fan cleaning in Raynes Park
In Raynes Park, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. The result is photographed for your records. Typical jobs include hot, greasy smells near the fan and grease escaping from the fan outlet, across fan housings, roof-mounted fans and axial fans.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Raynes Park 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. If your building in Raynes Park has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- 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.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Run the extract throughout cooking
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.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
What the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- In-line fans
- Fan housings

Grease, kitchens and Raynes Park
Food Standards Agency records include about 30 pubs and bars and about 4 hotels and B&Bs in Raynes Park and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. In London, kitchens are usually cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier. Food hygiene inspections in Raynes Park are the job of Merton council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Atkinson Morley Hospital is the nearest hospital to Raynes Park, about 1 mile north. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Saviour's Church or anywhere around Raynes Park, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Raynes Park is about 2 miles south-west of Wimbledon, in Greater London.

Why deal with it now?
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. 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. A building in Raynes Park may have flats or offices above and alongside, and a fault in the system can affect them too.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Common problems we fix in Raynes Park
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. So grease often settles heavily there.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan left out of previous cleans
If you cook for passing trade around Raynes Park station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
