Clean My Fan

Clean My Fan: extractor fan and kitchen duct cleaning in England and Wales

Clean My Fan is a UK-based company dedicated to cleaning kitchen extraction systems. With over 15 years of experience, it covers all of England and Wales and works for both hospitality venues and facilities management companies. Its engineers are trained and qualified to clean extractor fans, and the company states that it follows the BESA TR19 code of good practice.

Fan and duct cleaning services

The company offers three cleaning options, tailored to the scope required by each installation:

• Fan-only clean: the extractor fan is removed if it is safe and possible to do so, cleaned and put back.
• Part clean: in addition to the fan, one metre of ductwork is cleaned. A certificate is issued provided the system does not exceed 2 metres of ductwork.
• Full clean: includes removal and cleaning of the fan, cleaning of between 3 and 5 metres of accessible ductwork and cleaning of the inside of the canopy (filters and the front of the canopy are not cleaned). A certificate is issued if the ductwork is safe.

If the installation does not have access panels, the company can install them on site at an additional cost. It is also possible to clean more than 3-5 metres of ductwork or more than one ventilation system, in both cases at an additional cost.

Fan repair and replacement

Clean My Fan handles breakdowns with a 24-hour emergency service. According to the company, its engineers can repair or replace the fan on the same day.

Reasons to book a clean

The company points out that regular cleaning of extraction systems extends the motor's lifespan, is a legal requirement demanded by insurers and environmental health, and reduces the risk of fire.

Customers and quality standards

Its customer base ranges from pubs, cafés, restaurants and takeaways to nursing homes and commercial premises with an extractor canopy, as well as global facilities management companies. The company states that its clientele also includes royalty and that it applies the same approach to all of them. Clean My Fan states that it has invested in obtaining the UK's highest-level qualification in air duct cleaning. All work is signed off before the operatives leave the site, in order to ensure that both its own standards and the customer's are met.
