What Is Kitchen Extractor Fan Cleaning?
Kitchen extractor fan cleaning involves the process of removing built-up grease, dust, and dirt from your kitchen's ventilation system.
Regular cleaning is particularly important for commercial kitchen extraction systems, where grease can accumulate across fans, hoods, filters and ductwork.
We use methods such as steam cleaning and degreasing agents to effectively break down and eliminate residues that accumulate over time.
Our use of specialised equipment, like centrifugal fans for drying, ensures that fans operate smoothly without causing interruptions to your kitchen's functionality.
At Extracta Systems, we clean these systems thoroughly to ensure longevity and improved air quality.
We also provide ventilation cleaning services to remove accumulated grease, dust and debris from vents and other ventilation components.
Regular cleaning, typically recommended every three to six months depending on kitchen use, helps prevent fire risks and maintains the efficiency of your extractor fan, keeping your kitchen environment safe and healthy.
By adhering to industry standards such as TR19, we reduce the likelihood of dangerous grease fires in both residential and commercial kitchens, including restaurants and canteens.

How Much Does Kitchen Extractor Fan Cleaning Cost?
Kitchen extractor fan cleaning costs around £100 to £150. Prices may vary based on the size and condition of your system.
Smaller fans typically cost less, while larger, heavily soiled systems may incur additional charges.
Factors such as the complexity of the ductwork and the type of materials used in the fans, such as stainless steel or aluminium, also influence the cost. We follow strict compliance with TR19 standards to ensure your cleaning meets health and safety regulations.
On average, commercial kitchens should schedule cleaning every three to six months to prevent fire hazards and ensure optimal efficiency.
Regular maintenance can also reduce cleaning frequency and overall costs. We use specialised equipment like industrial steam cleaners and degreasers to effectively remove grease and dirt build-up.

What Types of Kitchen Extractor Fan Cleaning Are Available?
We offer various cleaning methods to suit different requirements, ensuring both efficiency and compliance with industry standards:
Steam Cleaning: Ideal for removing tough grease residues from surfaces, this method involves using pressurised steam to break down deposits, often reaching temperatures above 100°C. Steam cleaning is suitable for commercial kitchens in restaurants and catering facilities where hygiene is crucial.
Chemical Foam Cleaning: Effective when dealing with stubborn build-up, this method uses specially formulated degreasers that can penetrate layers of dirt and grease. It is frequently chosen by food processing plants due to its ability to sanitise surfaces thoroughly.
Manual Scrubbing: Suitable for detailed cleaning in intricate areas, our trained technicians use specialised brushes and tools to reach into nooks that machinery cannot. This method is often required for extractor units with complex geometry or older systems with delicate components.
Each type ensures thorough disinfection and compliance with hygiene standards such as BESA TR19 guidelines. Get in touch to find out which method suits your system best.
How Does Kitchen Extractor Fan Cleaning Work?
Our kitchen extractor fan cleaning process involves several key steps to ensure efficiency and safety:
Inspection of the fan and ducting for damage or blockages. We use specialised tools such as borescopes to examine hard-to-reach areas and identify potential fire hazards or airflow issues. Where contaminants have accumulated throughout the ductwork, we can also provide professional duct cleaning
Application of cleaning solutions tailored to grease and dirt removal. These solutions are selected based on the specific materials and buildup levels within your extractor system. We primarily use biodegradable degreasers to minimise environmental impact.
Use of high-pressure steam or chemical agents, depending on the system's needs. We adhere to the BESA TR/19 standards for duct hygiene, employing steam at temperatures that effectively sanitise surfaces while preserving equipment integrity.
Final checks to ensure optimal performance and cleanliness. We measure airflow and noise levels to confirm that the system functions efficiently.
Most jobs take two to three hours, ensuring minimal disruption to your kitchen operations. To book a service, contact us.
