How we handle extract fan cleaning in Roxeth
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing and we clean it off. If you’re dealing with rough running from the extract fan and thick grease on the impeller and casing, we can help, from roof-mounted fans, in-line fans and fan housings onwards.
In a London area like Roxeth, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Roxeth.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Managing agents and facilities teams in Roxeth
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Keep records of every fan clean
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Make sure the fan is reachable. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Roxeth
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- What state the system is in
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How big the system is
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
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 any work starts.
Why deal with it now?
A fan that sounds rough in Roxeth is often telling you the extract needs a clean. If the fan is coated, the duct before it normally is too so a full TR19 clean may be due. In Roxeth, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Roxeth
Grease condenses as the air cools, 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 these warning signs:
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
Commuter trade near Sudbury Hill Harrow station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Fire safety in Roxeth falls to London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
