About our extract fan cleaning in St Helier
Any fan serving a kitchen in St Helier is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. If you are dealing with a fan shaking on its mounts and weak extraction at the canopy, we can put it right, from fan housings, axial fans and discharge points onwards.
Kitchens in St Helier, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Common questions in St Helier
Can you come to St Helier after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in St Helier can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in St Helier?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers St Helier. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
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.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
We always isolate the fan first, so it cannot start while we work. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What information do you need?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in St Helier?
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A heavily greased fan housing
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Helier Hospital about within half a mile south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether VAT is included
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether a survey comes first
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Report rattles or humming early
When we have finished, the fan is reassembled and run. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Why deal with it now?
A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Many fan problems start with grease, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. A building in St Helier may have flats or offices above and alongside, and a fault in the system can affect them too.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What you get with us
- A written report with pictures after every visit
- Fully insured

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. In St Helier, as across London, we typically work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Inline duct fans

Extract fan cleaning around St Helier
There are about 164 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 93 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of St Helier, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. St Helier sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
