What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How big the system is
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Extract fan cleaning in Westcombe Park
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. If you’re dealing with thick grease on the impeller and casing and grease escaping from the fan outlet, we can put it right.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Westcombe Park is typically done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Common questions in Westcombe Park
Do you work at weekends in Westcombe Park?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Westcombe Park can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Does London parking affect a job in Westcombe Park?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Westcombe Park, and about any building rules on loading. Working overnight, as we often do in London, typically makes it simpler.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. File it with your other extract records.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
Do you work in Westcombe Park?
Yes. We cover Westcombe Park and across Greater London, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum, under BESA guidance. At the extremes, that’s 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
What the work involves, part by part
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Westcombe Park
A greasy fan in Westcombe Park is fuel at the end of the duct. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
Where a hall near St George's Church, or anywhere in Westcombe Park, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. In Westcombe Park, as across London, we typically work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a 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 so you know the cost before work begins.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
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.
