Extract fan cleaning in Tyler's Hill, done properly
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A heart under strain works harder for less. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look, before signing it off. Typical jobs include a heavily greased fan housing and a fan shaking on its mounts, on discharge points, in-line fans and roof-mounted fans.
Somewhere as small as Tyler's Hill, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Tyler's Hill
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Tyler's Hill out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 7 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Tyler's Hill. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you work overnight in Tyler's Hill?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Tyler's Hill can fit around your hours. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
We always isolate the fan first, so it can’t run during the clean. With the extract off, the kitchen cannot cook, so we work out of hours.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
A common cause is grease. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Leave it or put it right?
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. If the system at a site near Tyler's Hill fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Somewhere like Tyler's Hill, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

What affects the quote in Tyler's Hill
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition of the system
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.

Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Tyler's Hill
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. The grease that is left lands on the blades and the casing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A motor area thick with grease
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
