Extract fan cleaning in Westwell, done properly
If the extract fan in Westwell has become noisy, weak or greasy? Tell us about it when you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll give you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Westwell, usually within one working day. We are often asked to deal with an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and a fan that no longer moves enough air, on centrifugal fans, in-line fans and axial fans.
In a village or hamlet like Westwell, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, 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 ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Westwell
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Questions from Westwell
Do you work overnight in Westwell?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Westwell does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like Westwell?
Yes, Westwell is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
You get a photo report with before and after photos of the fan. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Uneven grease on the impeller often causes it. After cleaning, we will tell you if wear or damage is also involved.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
It has to be off and isolated, for safety. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking is not affected.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Run the extract throughout cooking
File the photo report with your other extract records. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Why deal with it now?
A fan that sounds rough in Westwell is often telling you the extract needs a clean. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it so a full TR19 clean may be due. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Westwell rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

What affects the quote in Westwell
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- What state the system is in
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- A single visit or a regular plan
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- A few general shots of the system
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes an hour or two for most single fans. In a small place like Westwell, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
