Extract fan cleaning in Teddington, done properly
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. Typical jobs include weak extraction at the canopy and a fan left out of previous cleans, on centrifugal fans, fan housings and in-line fans.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Teddington is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Leave it or put it right?
A fan clean in Teddington doesn’t take long: the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Waiting adds vibration, wear and a harder clean. Every month a London system goes without attention adds to what has to be done later.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
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 can diagnose it and quote.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Teddington kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 41 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Teddington. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. It’s Richmond-Upon-Thames council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Teddington. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected.
A hospital like Teddington Memorial Hospital, about within half a mile west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run a café or takeaway near Teddington station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

Common questions in Teddington
Who is the fire and rescue service for Teddington?
That’s London Fire Brigade. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you come to Teddington after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Teddington does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Is Teddington in your area?
Yes. Teddington is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Teddington?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum, under BESA guidance. At the extremes, that is 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.

Part by part
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
Impellers and blades
Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Report rattles or humming early
- Leave a clear route to the fan
If the fan needs more than a clean, we will say so plainly. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Common problems we fix in Teddington
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. So grease often settles heavily there.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A heavily greased fan housing
Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Mary's and St Peter's Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What to look for in a quote
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
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 the area is cleaned down before we leave. Expect the work in Teddington to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us where we can park and unload
