FAQs for Well Hall
Can a school canteen extract in Well Hall be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 41 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Well Hall. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Well Hall?
That is Greenwich council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Well Hall. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, if the fan needs it. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Before and after pictures go into a report, with anything we noticed. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. The visit is timed for when the area is not in use, whether that is late evening, overnight or a weekend.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
At least as often as the rest of the extract, which BESA guidance sets by daily cooking hours: every 3, 6 or 12 months. Some fans need attention sooner.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Well Hall
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but a fan can also need attention on its own, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. If you’re dealing with a motor area thick with grease and grease stains around the discharge, we can help, from in-line fans, discharge points and axial fans onwards.
Kitchens in Well Hall, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, 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 to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Well Hall
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The condition of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Kitchen extracts in Well Hall
Food Standards Agency data counts about 108 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 44 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Well Hall. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Environmental health officers from Greenwich council inspect food businesses in Well Hall. 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. The fire and rescue service for Well Hall is London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
A kitchen near Eltham station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Gordon Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Barnabas, or anywhere in Well Hall, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Make sure the fan is included each time
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
Leave it or put it right?
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen cannot cook safely. 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 a London building, a problem in a duct, damper or fan rarely stays in one unit.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Expect the work in Well Hall to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- 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.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.

What the work involves, part by part
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so the method is planned in advance. If it cannot be reached fully, the report says so.
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.
What a clean will not put right
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A fan that will not start
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
