How we handle extract fan cleaning in Worcester Park
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look so you get a clean bill of health. Common call-outs are for grease stains around the discharge and a heavily greased fan housing, across centrifugal fans, fan housings and in-line fans.
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 Worcester Park, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Common questions in Worcester Park
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Worcester Park?
Food hygiene inspections in Worcester Park are carried out by Epsom and Ewell council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you work overnight in Worcester Park?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Worcester Park can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning doesn’t, the bearings or motor may need attention.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, if the fan needs it. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
The fan must be isolated, for safety. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking isn’t affected.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on in Worcester Park
- Axial fans
- Fan housings
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
Leave it or put it right?
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. It’s better booked as a planned job in Worcester Park than handled as an emergency.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What you get with us
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001

Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Part by part
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
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.
How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Worcester Park.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Grease, kitchens and Worcester Park
Food Standards Agency data counts about 117 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 71 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Worcester Park. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Fire safety in Worcester Park falls to London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from Epsom and Ewell council inspect food businesses in Worcester Park. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Worcester Park, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. For kitchens close to Worcester Park station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Cuddington Community Primary School or anywhere near Worcester Park, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What else we do in Worcester Park
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
