- A motor area thick with grease
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
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.
Extract fan cleaning in Thames View Estate, done properly
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. Common call-outs are for grease around the motor and its mounts and burning smells from the fan area, on in-line fans, discharge points and centrifugal fans.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Thames View Estate 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.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How we price extract fan cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The times the site is available
- What state the system is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The size of the system
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet

Questions from Thames View Estate
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Thames View Estate during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 33 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Thames View Estate. You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Which environmental health team covers Thames View Estate?
In Thames View Estate, it’s Barking and Dagenham council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, it should be. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so you do not have to close during trading.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. As a guide, it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Why act early in Thames View Estate
A fan that sounds rough in Thames View Estate is often telling you the extract needs a clean. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it so a full TR19 clean may be due. It’s better booked as a planned job in Thames View Estate than handled as an emergency.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
What the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. We clean them where they can be safely reached, and anything we can’t reach is recorded.
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. We get to them through the duct or casing after isolating them.

How the visit 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, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes an hour or two for most single fans. Most London sites cannot stop for the day, so work in Thames View Estate is normally done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
