Extract fan cleaning in Rowley Green, done properly
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. The work covers roof-mounted fans, fan housings and in-line fans, and common reasons people get in touch are less air being pulled from the kitchen and a motor area thick with grease.
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 Rowley Green, that normally means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. 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 couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. For a job in Rowley Green, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Rowley Green questions
Can parking be tricky for a job in Rowley Green?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Rowley Green, and about any building rules on loading. Working overnight, as we often do in London, typically makes it simpler.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Rowley Green during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 13 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Rowley Green. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Is Rowley Green in your area?
Yes. We cover Rowley Green and across Greater London, within our South East and London area. To book, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we will plan the visit around them.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. File it with your other extract records.
Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: cracks, bent blades or wear. We note any concerns.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Why deal with it now?
A fan clean in Rowley Green does not take long: the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing

More services for Rowley Green
Extract fan cleaning in Rowley Green: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 29 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 15 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Rowley Green. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Rowley Green sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. London jobs typically start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Wyllyotts Manor is about 3.7 miles north-east), access may need planning. Where a hall near Holy Cross, or anywhere in Rowley Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
