How it works

- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.

Advice
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Ruislip Manor
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but a fan can also need attention on its own, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. If you have rough running from the extract fan and a fan that no longer moves enough air, we can put it right.
In a London area like Ruislip Manor, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, with any limits noted.
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing, once they’re isolated.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.

Extract fan cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- A fan that will not start
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Ruislip Manor
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Ruislip Manor?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Ruislip Manor. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you work in Ruislip Manor outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Ruislip Manor needn’t be disturbed. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Is Ruislip Manor in your area?
Yes. Ruislip Manor is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract, from every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours of cooking a day to every 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings and the fan’s condition can show it needs more.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it can’t start while we work. With the extract off, the kitchen can’t cook, so we work out of hours.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Keep access to the fan clear
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.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
How we price extract fan cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition we find in the survey
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether several sites go on one quote
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The postcode and the type of business
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Ruislip Manor
Food Standards Agency data counts about 111 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 55 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Ruislip Manor. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. London Fire Brigade covers Ruislip Manor. 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.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Ickenham Hall is about 1.5 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. A hospital like Northwood and Pinner Cottage Hospital, about 2.2 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Lady Bankes Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
