About our extract fan cleaning in Regents Park
Grease on a fan is not spread evenly. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. A thorough clean removes the cause. We’re often asked to deal with a fan left out of previous cleans and a motor area thick with grease, across in-line fans, centrifugal fans and fan housings.
Around a smaller place like Regents Park, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Which council inspects kitchens in Regents Park?

What does extract fan cleaning cost?

What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Before and after photos go into a report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Regents Park

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What a clean will not put right
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- An impeller that’s bent or split
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
- Fan housings
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Everything the job in Regents Park needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice

Why it’s worth doing now in Regents Park
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Extract fan cleaning around Regents Park
The coast is only about 1 mile from Regents Park. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 30 pubs and bars and about 7 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Regents Park. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Fire safety in Regents Park falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
School kitchens, at schools like Regents Park Community College for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Report grease escaping from the fan
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
How the job changes from site to site
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them, so the outlet area is checked too. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
