Do you need extract fan cleaning in Brentham Garden Suburb?
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. 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.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
If you cook for passing trade around Ealing Broadway station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
Before booking anyone
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether VAT is included
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether they recommend a next date
About our extract fan cleaning in Brentham Garden Suburb
Any fan serving a kitchen in Brentham Garden Suburb is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. Common call-outs are for fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and vibration from an unbalanced impeller, across roof-mounted fans, axial fans and in-line fans.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. In Brentham Garden Suburb, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the job changes from site to site
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. We get to them through the duct or casing, once they’re isolated.
Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
Questions from Brentham Garden Suburb
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Brentham Garden Suburb?
Kitchens in Brentham Garden Suburb are inspected by Ealing council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Brentham Garden Suburb out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Brentham Garden Suburb, the Food Standards Agency lists about 42 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, we do. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
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.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them 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.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.

What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- A fan that won’t start
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Brentham Garden Suburb.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

How we price extract fan cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Any permits to work or inductions
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
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.
Brentham Garden Suburb kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 43 pubs, bars and clubs and about 7 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses across Brentham Garden Suburb and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected. Kitchens in Brentham Garden Suburb get their food hygiene inspections from Ealing council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Central Middlesex Hospital about 1.7 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Where a hall near Church of St Barnabas, or anywhere in Brentham Garden Suburb, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
