Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in West Bedfont
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A heart under strain works harder for less. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found so you get a clean bill of health. If you’re dealing with a fan that hums, whines or rumbles and burning smells from the fan area, we can put it right, from fan housings, roof-mounted fans and axial fans onwards.
In a small place like West Bedfont, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How we price extract fan cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site rules, permits and inductions
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Kitchen extracts in West Bedfont
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 15 pubs and bars and about 5 hotels and guest houses in West Bedfont and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Environmental health officers from Spelthorne council inspect food businesses in West Bedfont. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for West Bedfont is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
A hospital like Ashford Hospital, about 0.7 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in West Bedfont, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What the work involves, part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. That is what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Questions from West Bedfont
Can a school canteen extract in West Bedfont be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 11 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of West Bedfont. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Is West Bedfont within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, West Bedfont included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
We always isolate the fan first, so it can’t start while we work. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Common problems we fix in West Bedfont
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
For schools such as Stanwell Fields CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off.

- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
