Extract fan cleaning in Brook Green
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. The work covers axial fans, centrifugal fans and in-line fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan left out of previous cleans and hot, greasy smells near the fan.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Brook Green is normally done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. If your building in Brook Green has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- 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.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Why act early in Brook Green
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. For a site in Brook Green, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What we’re called out for in Brook Green
How fast a fan gets greasy in Brook Green depends on the cooking: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Larmenier & Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Before booking anyone
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether a written report and pictures are included

What the work involves, part by part
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.

When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
