Common questions in West Heath
Do you work overnight in West Heath?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Is parking a problem for work in West Heath?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in West Heath, and about any building rules on loading. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. It can also be wear in the bearings or motor, which our report will flag.
Extract fan cleaning in West Heath, done properly
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in West Heath, usually within one working day. If you have a fan that has never been cleaned and a fan shaking on its mounts, we can put it right, from in-line fans, axial fans and centrifugal fans onwards.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in West Heath is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.

Why it’s worth doing now in West Heath
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. In West Heath, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Why book with us
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- We are fully insured
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Run the extract throughout cooking
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
How the job changes from site to site
Wall fans
Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so we plan how to reach and clean them. Anything out of reach is recorded.
How we price extract fan cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How big the system is
- Parking and loading at the site
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- The postcode and the type of business
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
If you need extract fan cleaning in West Heath, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
Places near West Heath

What we are called out for in West Heath
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. So grease often settles heavily there.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around West Heath (Danson House is about 1.5 miles south), fitting access panels needs care.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether the price is fixed
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in West Heath needs from us.
- 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.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
Advice
What extract fan cleaning looks like in West Heath
There are about 129 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 92 takeaways and sandwich shops across West Heath and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. London jobs usually start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. Environmental health officers from Bexley council inspect food businesses in West Heath. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Andrew's or elsewhere in West Heath, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Bexley Hospital about 1.4 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
