About our extract fan cleaning in West Peckham
In West Peckham, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. The work covers in-line fans, axial fans and centrifugal fans, and the jobs we see most are a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and grease stains around the discharge.
For a kitchen in or near West Peckham, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of West Peckham. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Fire safety in West Peckham falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from Tonbridge and Malling council inspect food businesses in West Peckham. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in West Peckham
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What state the system is in
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.

Common questions in West Peckham
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in West Peckham?
Kitchens in West Peckham are inspected by Tonbridge and Malling council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in West Peckham during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of West Peckham. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, we can clean just the fan. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
Do you cover West Peckham?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes West Peckham.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We can repair or replace it, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. If a fan can’t be reached, the report says so, so you always know what was cleaned.
How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to West Peckham.
- 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.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan cleaning won’t do:
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- A fan that will not start
- Wiring faults to the fan
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
- Fan housings
Why act early in West Peckham
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. In a place like West Peckham, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
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 the price is fixed before we start.
Why West Peckham businesses choose us
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Each visit written up, with photos
- A fixed price before any work starts
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What we’re called out for in West Peckham
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.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Grease stains around the discharge
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Oakwood Hospital (about 5.6 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

How the job changes from site to site
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
Fan housings and motors
Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.
