Extract fan cleaning in South Tottenham, done properly
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. Typical jobs include rough running from the extract fan and hot, greasy smells near the fan, across centrifugal fans, discharge points and axial fans.
In a London area like South Tottenham, 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, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: chips, distortion or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
The process
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up, and we clear up before we go. If your building in South Tottenham has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Other services in South Tottenham
Do you need extract fan cleaning in South Tottenham?
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. The difference throws the impeller off balance and puts strain on the bearings. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Burning smells from the fan area
If you run a café or takeaway near Seven Sisters station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
What your quote should include

FAQs for South Tottenham
Which environmental health team covers South Tottenham?
The local authority for South Tottenham is Haringey council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you come to South Tottenham after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in South Tottenham can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We can repair or replace it, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures of the fan. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
