Extract fan cleaning for sites in Upper Edmonton

Managing agents and facilities teams in Upper Edmonton

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.

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.

How we handle extract fan cleaning in Upper Edmonton

Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. The work covers discharge points, fan housings and in-line fans, and people most often call us about an extract fan with no cleaning record and a fan that no longer moves enough air.

London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in Upper Edmonton, that usually means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.

We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Between visits

Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:

  • File the fan’s report with your other records
  • Report grease escaping from the fan
  • Tell us if the extract feels weaker
  • Check the report shows the fan was cleaned

You get before and after photos of the impeller and housing. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.

The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.

Why it’s worth doing now in Upper Edmonton

A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. In Upper Edmonton, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.

A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Upper Edmonton

Can you work in Upper Edmonton outside opening hours?

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.

Which fire authority looks after Upper Edmonton?

London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Upper Edmonton. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.

Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?

Yes. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.

Can you clean the fan on its own?

Yes. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.

What’s TR19?

It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.

What accreditations do you have?

CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.

Do you survey before quoting?

Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.

Grease, kitchens and Upper Edmonton

Food Standards Agency records include about 33 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Upper Edmonton. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. Food hygiene inspections in Upper Edmonton are the job of Enfield council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.

If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like North Middlesex University Hospital about less than half a mile west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Mary's Church, or anywhere in Upper Edmonton, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

When to call us in Upper Edmonton

By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. The grease that is left lands on the blades and the casing where the spinning blades spread it around.

Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
  • A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
  • A fan left out of previous cleans
  • A smell of hot grease from the extract

Term dates shape school work: for a school like St John and St James CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Our hiring checklist

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.

Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A dirty duct upstream of the fan
  • A faulty speed controller or isolator
  • A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Parts of the system we cover

  • In-line fans
  • Centrifugal fans
  • Discharge points
  • Roof-mounted fans
  • Fan housings
  • Axial fans

The process

The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Upper Edmonton saves time on the night.

  1. We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
  2. We isolate the power before opening the housing.
  3. We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
  4. Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
  5. It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions
  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
