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.
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and grease builds up on them unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Extract fan cleaning in Wimbledon Park, done properly
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, before signing it off. The work covers in-line fans, fan housings and roof-mounted fans, and people most often call us about rough running from the extract fan and a fan that has never been cleaned.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. In Wimbledon Park, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Common problems we fix in Wimbledon Park
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan, wearing bearings and mounts. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability (about 1.1 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Comparing quotes
- What paperwork you get at the end
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
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 pictures, so each one has its own record.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
The process
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Most London sites cannot stop for the day, so work in Wimbledon Park is usually done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system

When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

Wimbledon Park questions
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Wimbledon Park out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 23 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Wimbledon Park. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Wimbledon Park?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Wimbledon Park. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
At least as often as the rest of the extract, which BESA guidance sets by daily cooking hours: from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use. A noisy or heavily coated fan may need it sooner.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so you don’t have to close during trading.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
We also repair and replace extract fans. If we find wear or damage, we will explain it and send you a fixed quote.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Wimbledon Park kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 38 pubs, bars and clubs and about 5 hotels and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Wimbledon Park. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected. In Wimbledon Park, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Wandsworth council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Where a hall near Church of St Luke, or anywhere in Wimbledon Park, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Southside House is about 1.8 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
