Questions from Bethnal Green
Who inspects food businesses in Bethnal Green?
Kitchens in Bethnal Green are inspected by Tower Hamlets council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you come to Bethnal Green after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Bethnal Green can fit around your hours. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Is Bethnal Green in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Bethnal Green, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. Keep it with your maintenance log.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
A clean won’t mend wear. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bethnal Green
We have been trading since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers axial fans, roof-mounted fans and in-line fans, and common reasons people get in touch are fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and a noisy fan that has got louder over time.
Kitchens in Bethnal Green, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Kitchen extracts in Bethnal Green
Food Standards Agency records list about 1,726 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 528 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Bethnal Green. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Bethnal Green is covered by London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
School kitchens, at schools like Lawdale Junior School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Peter's or anywhere around Bethnal Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. For kitchens close to Cambridge Heath station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
Bethnal Green is about 3 miles north-east of London, in Greater London. We carry out extract fan cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Bethnal Green and the rest of Greater London. 764 places in Greater London are on our list, large and small.
All of E2, E1 and E3 is within our area for extract fan cleaning, from the main roads to the quietest streets. If you need extract fan cleaning at premises on Patriot Square, Ion Square and Victoria Park Square or anywhere close by, we can help. Bethnal Green sits on or near the B108 and B118, which makes travel easy for extract fan cleaning. We also cover Cambridge Heath (1 mile north-east), London Fields (1 mile north), Shoreditch (1 mile west), Haggerston (1 mile north-west) and Stepney (1 mile south-east). Further out, we also cover London (3 miles south-west), City of Westminster (4 miles west), Marylebone (4 miles west), Kensington (6 miles west), Walthamstow (4 miles north) and Hampstead (5 miles west).
Around Bethnal Green
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Oaklands School, Bishopsgate Institute Special Collections and Archives and Bethnal Green Gardens and the streets around them. Also close by are Young and Talented School of Stage and Screen (within half a mile south) and Sebright Arms (under half a mile north-west). Bethnal Green has its own railway station: Cambridge Heath station. Nearby you’ll also find Hackney Walk (1.3 miles north) and London Chest Hospital (0.5 miles east). The countryside around Bethnal Green includes St. James's Park Lake and Tower Hill.
How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in Bethnal Green is normally done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Leave it or put it right?
Cleaning the fan in Bethnal Green now is a short job: the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Waiting adds vibration, wear and a harder clean. A building in Bethnal Green may have flats or offices above and alongside, and a fault in the system can affect them too.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What you get with us
- Every visit written up, with photos
- Every job surveyed first
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Keep access to the fan clear
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
How the job changes from site to site
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so the method is planned in advance. If it cannot be reached fully, the report says so.
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. We clean them where they can be safely reached, with any limits noted.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The scale of the work
- The times the site is available
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition of the system
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
