What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Extract fan cleaning in Brompton, done properly
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look, before signing it off. If you are dealing with an extract fan with no cleaning record and a fan shaking on its mounts, we can put it right.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Brompton is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Expect the work in Brompton to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Brompton
Look up Brompton on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 1,653 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 119 sandwich bars and takeaways in Brompton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Fire safety in Brompton falls to London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s Kensington and Chelsea council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Brompton. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Royal Marsden Hospital about within half a mile south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Hellenic College of London, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Common problems we fix in Brompton
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 where the spinning blades spread it around.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Simon Zelotes or anywhere around Brompton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Brompton questions
What do you need to know about parking in Brompton?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Brompton, and about any building rules on loading. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Which council inspects kitchens in Brompton?
That is Kensington and Chelsea council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Brompton. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Brompton?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Do you work in Brompton?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Brompton.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, it should be. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. As a guide, it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits.
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Report rattles or humming early
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
When we have finished, the fan is reassembled and run. 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.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- An impeller that’s bent or split
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- Axial fans
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
Why deal with it now?
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown and a kitchen can’t cook safely without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. A busy site in Brompton builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
