Greater London · Extract fan cleaning
Tulse Hill extract fan cleaning
One call covers cleaning of kitchen extract fans, impellers, fan housings and discharge points in Tulse Hill, from survey to sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Extract fan cleaning in Tulse Hill
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? Tell us about it when you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Tulse Hill, usually within one working day. We’re often asked to deal with a fan coated in grease inside its housing and grease around the motor and its mounts, across discharge points, roof-mounted fans and in-line fans.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. For a kitchen in Tulse Hill, that typically means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What the work involves, part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Parking and loading at the site
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings

For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Tulse Hill and across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Tulse Hill is typically out of hours.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

What a clean won’t put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan cleaning won’t do:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A fan that won’t start
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

FAQs for Tulse Hill
What do you need to know about parking in Tulse Hill?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Tulse Hill makes the visit easier to plan. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Can you come to Tulse Hill after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Tulse Hill needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
You get a photo report with before and after photos of the fan. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. As a guide, it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
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.
Kitchen extracts in Tulse Hill
The Food Standards Agency lists about 56 pubs, bars and clubs and about 5 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses in and around Tulse Hill, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In London, kitchens are normally cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier. Fire safety in Tulse Hill falls to London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Dulwich Community Hospital (about 1.5 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Holy Trinity Church or elsewhere in Tulse Hill, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you cook for passing trade around Tulse Hill station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
