- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
About our extract fan cleaning in Roehampton
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. If you are dealing with grease escaping from the fan outlet and rough running from the extract fan, we can help.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Roehampton is normally done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Roehampton
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.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A heavily greased fan housing
Commuter trade near Barnes station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

Extract fan cleaning around Roehampton
There are about 244 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 42 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Roehampton, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Environmental health officers from Wandsworth council inspect food businesses in Roehampton. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Roehampton is covered by London Fire Brigade. 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Queen Mary's Hospital (about under half a mile west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. School kitchens, at schools like Granard Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Around Roehampton

How the visit works
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. In Roehampton, as across London, we normally work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- 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.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

How the job changes from site to site
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
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.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Keep records of every fan clean
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
FAQs for Roehampton
Can you come to Roehampton after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Roehampton does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who inspects food businesses in Roehampton?
The local authority for Roehampton is Wandsworth council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and if it fails outright, our 24/7 emergency line is there.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. Keep it with your maintenance log.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
