Extract fan cleaning in Upper Green, done properly
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan, and that is what we clean. Typical jobs include less air being pulled from the kitchen and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan, on in-line fans, centrifugal fans and fan housings.
In a village or hamlet like Upper Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

When to call us in Upper Green
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A fan that has never been cleaned
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Stargroves is about 2.9 miles south-east), access may need planning.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- What state the system is in
- The scale of the work
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Upper Green: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Upper Green?
Yes. Upper Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you work in Upper Green outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
A common cause is grease. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning does not, the bearings or motor may need attention.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, we do. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Upper Green knowing what to expect.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- 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
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote

Managing agents and facilities teams in Upper Green
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Why deal with it now?
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
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 give you a fixed price before any work starts.
