About our extract fan cleaning in Connaught Village
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Connaught Village, usually within one working day. We’re often asked to deal with a fan coated in grease inside its housing and hot, greasy smells near the fan, on discharge points, roof-mounted fans and axial fans.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Connaught Village is normally done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
A written report with pictures 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.

When to call us in Connaught Village
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Connaught Village as anywhere. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire, and a hot, struggling motor does not help.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
Where a hall near Church of St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Connaught Village, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Connaught Village
The Food Standards Agency lists about 162 pubs and bars and about 247 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Connaught Village. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. In Connaught Village, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Westminster council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Fortius Clinic about 0.6 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Commuter trade near London Paddington station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

Connaught Village questions
Which fire service covers Connaught Village?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Connaught Village. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What do you need to know about parking in Connaught Village?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
With the fan isolated, the extract isn’t running. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How big the system is
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The postcode and the type of business

Part by part
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. We clean it along with the blades.
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so we plan how to reach and clean them. Anything out of reach is recorded.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Before any visit in Connaught Village, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote

Why act early in Connaught Village
Cleaning the fan in Connaught Village 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. In Connaught Village, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
