Extract fan cleaning in Temple Mills
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but a fan can also need attention on its own, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. The work covers discharge points, in-line fans and roof-mounted fans, and people most often call us about rough running from the extract fan and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles.
Kitchens in Temple Mills, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Questions from Temple Mills
Does London parking affect a job in Temple Mills?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Can the work in Temple Mills be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Temple Mills keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
Fan repair and replacement is part of what we do. If we find wear or damage, we’ll explain it and send you a fixed quote.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
It takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Your quote will give an idea.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Part by part
Wall fans
Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
How it works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes an hour or two for most single fans. If your building in Temple Mills has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

There are about 437 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 175 takeaways in and around Temple Mills, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. It’s Newham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Temple Mills. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. London Fire Brigade covers Temple Mills. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Queen Mary's Hospital for the East End (about 1 mile south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A motor that has burnt out

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Temple Mills
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The postcode and the type of business
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Temple Mills
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 any of the following:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A motor area thick with grease
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Chobham Academy or anywhere near Temple Mills, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
