About our extract fan cleaning in Selhurst
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. Typical jobs include grease escaping from the fan outlet and an extract fan with no cleaning record, on discharge points, centrifugal fans and fan housings.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in Selhurst, that normally means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
FAQs for Selhurst
Which environmental health team covers Selhurst?
The local authority for Selhurst is Croydon council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which fire authority looks after Selhurst?
That’s London Fire Brigade. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning does not, the bearings or motor may need attention.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we’ll book around them.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
Fan repair and replacement is part of what we do. If we find wear or damage, we will explain it and give you a fixed quote.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
At least as often as the rest of the extract, which BESA guidance sets by daily cooking hours: from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use. Some fans need attention sooner.
Part by part
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. That’s what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Fan housings and motors
Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.
Leave it or put it right?
A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Many fan problems start with grease, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. It’s better booked as a planned job in Selhurst than handled as an emergency.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Keep the route to the fan clear. 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.
How it works
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Selhurst.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

- Wiring faults to the fan
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)

Extract fan cleaning in Selhurst: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 41 pubs and bars and about 11 hotels and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Selhurst. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Fire safety in Selhurst falls to London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Selhurst get their food hygiene inspections from Croydon council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mark or elsewhere in Selhurst, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Mark's Church of England Primary Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Selhurst is Croydon University Hospital, about 1.7 miles south-west.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Selhurst
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:

- How big the system is
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
