What a clean won’t put right
Extract fan cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- An impeller that is bent or split
- Wiring faults to the fan
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
What we work on in Battersea

Extract fan cleaning in Battersea, done properly
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. The work covers fan housings, roof-mounted fans and in-line fans, and common reasons people get in touch are grease around the motor and its mounts and rough running from the extract fan.
Kitchens in Battersea, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Kitchen extracts in Battersea
There are about 660 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 142 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Battersea, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. London Fire Brigade covers Battersea. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from Wandsworth council inspect food businesses in Battersea. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Clapham Welsh Presbyterian Church or elsewhere in Battersea, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Christ Church CofE Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Battersea is about 3 miles south-east of Kensington, in Greater London. From the centre of Battersea to the outskirts, extract fan cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from small sites to large estates. Our area takes in 764 places across Greater London, large and small.

Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What affects the quote in Battersea
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Battersea questions
Can the work in Battersea be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Battersea keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Battersea?
That is Wandsworth council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Battersea. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen cannot cook while we work. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
At least as often as the rest of the extract, which BESA guidance sets by daily cooking hours: from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use. Some fans need attention sooner.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
When to call us in Battersea
A greasy fan in Battersea is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it and an overworked motor runs hotter.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A motor area thick with grease
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Battersea General Hospital (about 0.8 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What we do, step by step
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. If your building in Battersea has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Advice
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
