The extraction fan does the actual work of pulling grease-laden air out of the kitchen. When the impeller and housing clog with grease the fan strains, shifts less air and turns into both an efficiency problem and a fire risk. A clean fan is essential to a system that actually works — and that passes inspection.
We arrange extract fan cleaning quotes for Swansea kitchens, usually as part of a full TR19 clean covering canopy, ductwork and fan together.
What's involved
The fan unit, impeller and motor housing are degreased, airflow is checked, and the work is documented. Doing the fan alongside the ductwork brings the whole system back to standard in one visit.
Signs it needs doing
Weak extraction, a kitchen that stays smoky or humid through service, odd fan noise, or grease showing around the external discharge are all signals the fan needs attention.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the fan be done on its own?
It can, but it's most effective and cost-efficient as part of a full extract clean so the whole system is compliant at once.
Will it improve extraction?
Yes — a grease-clogged fan moves far less air. Cleaning the impeller and housing restores airflow and improves the kitchen environment.
