Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Sundridge
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. The work covers axial fans, discharge points and roof-mounted fans, and people most often call us about a motor area thick with grease and vibration from an unbalanced impeller.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Sundridge is typically done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Sundridge: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Sundridge?
That’s Bromley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Sundridge. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Sundridge?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Sundridge. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
We also repair and replace extract fans. If cleaning shows a worn motor, bearings or impeller, we will tell you and quote for the repair.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
Allow a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.

It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Damaged fan blades
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- Wiring faults to the fan

Extract fan cleaning around Sundridge
The FSA’s data shows about 30 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 6 hotels and guest houses registered in and around Sundridge, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Kitchens in Sundridge get their food hygiene inspections from Bromley council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Sundridge falls to London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Andrew or elsewhere in Sundridge, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run a café or takeaway near Sundridge Park station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Sundridge
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Sundridge and across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Part by part
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.
Common problems we fix in Sundridge
A greasy fan in Sundridge is fuel at the end of the duct. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Burning smells from the fan area
Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Joseph's Catholic Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- File the fan’s report with your other records
File the photo report with your other extract records. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, 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.
