Extract fan cleaning in Agar Town

What your team can do, and what needs us

A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Extract fan cleaning in Agar Town, done properly

The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan, and that is what we clean. If you are dealing with a fan coated in grease inside its housing and a motor area thick with grease, we can help.

London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Agar Town is typically done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.

Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Agar Town

When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.

Agar Town kitchens: local notes

The FSA’s data shows about 252 pubs and bars and about 114 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered in Agar Town and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Camden council inspect food businesses in Agar Town. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too.

A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near All Saints or elsewhere in Agar Town, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run a café or takeaway near Camden Road station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

Agar Town is about 1 mile north-west of St Pancras, in Greater London. Whatever kind of site you run in Agar Town, we can take on extract fan cleaning.

When it’s something else

Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:

  • An undersized fan that can’t cope
  • Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
  • A fan that will not start

If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Where we work

  • Centrifugal fans
  • Fan housings
  • In-line fans
  • Axial fans
  • Discharge points
  • Roof-mounted fans

When to call us in Agar Town

By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.

What we’re most often called out for:

  • An extract fan with no cleaning record
  • A fan shaking on its mounts
  • Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
  • Grease around the motor and its mounts

If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Pancras Hospital about within half a mile south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Questions to ask before you book

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

Part by part

Kitchens with long cooking hours

Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.

Fan housings and motors

Some fans use a belt drive. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.

How the visit works

Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Agar Town is no exception.

  1. We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
  2. Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
  3. Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
  4. We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
  5. The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.

Before we arrive

  • Move anything stored near the system
  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions
  • Arrange a key holder or contact on site

How to get a quote

Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Advice

FAQs for Agar Town

Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Agar Town?

It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Agar Town. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.

Can you work in Agar Town outside opening hours?

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.

Do you look at the system first?

Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.

Can you look after several sites?

Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.

Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?

Yes. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.

Will we have to shut during the visit?

Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning

The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:

  • The scale of the work
  • Where the site is and how we reach it
  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
  • The times the site is available

The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

What we need to know

To speed up the quote, please include:

  • The postcode and the type of business
  • Wide photos of the system and the area around it
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
