Extract fan cleaning in Upper Farringdon
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look so you get a clean bill of health. The work covers roof-mounted fans, discharge points and in-line fans, and people most often call us about grease around the motor and its mounts and grease stains around the discharge.
Somewhere as small as Upper Farringdon, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the quote in Upper Farringdon
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The size of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- A single visit or a regular plan
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The postcode and the type of business
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Upper Farringdon: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Upper Farringdon?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Upper Farringdon keeps running as normal. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can you get to a site in Upper Farringdon?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Different parts, different methods
Impellers and blades
Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Long cooking hours mean more grease reaches the fan. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.
How it 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. From there, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Upper Farringdon.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Upper Farringdon
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
What a clean will not put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A fan that won’t start
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Upper Farringdon
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan, wearing bearings and mounts. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Bentworth Hall is about 3.9 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something 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 are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
