Extractor Fan Cleaning in Edinburgh
Fan, impeller and housing degreasing for Edinburgh commercial kitchens, so the extraction pulls as it should and the grease risk is removed.
The extract fan is the engine of the system, and it sits in the path of every bit of grease the filters miss. As deposits build on the impeller and in the housing the fan moves less air, the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, and the motor works harder in a greasy casing — a combination no fire risk assessor wants to see.
We arrange extract fan cleaning quotes across Edinburgh and the surrounding areas, usually as part of a full TR19 clean so the canopy, ductwork and fan are all brought back to standard in one visit.
What the provider does
The fan is isolated, the housing opened and the impeller, blades and casing degreased. The provider checks for balance problems and grease leaks at the housing, notes anything that needs a fan engineer, and photographs the before-and-after condition for the report.
Signs your fan needs attention
Weak extraction, smoke hanging over the pass during service, a rising noise or vibration, and grease staining around the outlet or on the wall or roof near the discharge are all worth acting on. In a takeaway running fryers for twelve hours a day these signs can appear within weeks of a missed clean.
Fans in awkward places
Fans on roofs, in plant rooms or above suspended ceilings are common in city-centre and converted buildings. Access equipment and working at height are planned by the provider at survey, and any extra cost is shown in the quote.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the fan be cleaned on its own?
It can, but it is usually better value and better practice to clean it with the ductwork so the whole system is compliant at the same time.
Will it improve extraction?
Usually, yes. A grease-coated impeller moves noticeably less air, and cleaning it often makes a visible difference to smoke and heat in the kitchen.
What if the fan is faulty?
The provider will note any damage or balance issues in the report so you can get a fan engineer to repair or replace it.
