Extract fan cleaning in City of London: how it works
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. The way in depends on the type and the survey shows us how to reach it. Common call-outs are for burning smells from the fan area and grease stains around the discharge, across fan housings, centrifugal fans and in-line fans.
We are used to working while the site is closed. 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 a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.

Extract fan cleaning across City of London: local notes
Across City of London, from City of London outwards, kitchens range from town-centre restaurants and takeaways to pubs, hotels, schools and care homes. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.
Across London and the South East, we work evenings, overnight and weekends, so sites in City of London can keep trading.
City of London: If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Olave Old Jewry or elsewhere in City of London, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. For kitchens close to London Cannon Street station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Wiring faults to the fan
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What the work involves, part by part
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
If the fan needs more than a clean, we will say so plainly. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Common problems we fix in City of London
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in City of London as anywhere. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
City of London questions
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
It takes an hour or two for most single fans. Your quote will give an idea.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Before and after pictures go into a report, with anything we noticed. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
