About our extract fan cleaning in Earlsfield
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we will tell you, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You’ll know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. Typical jobs include grease around the motor and its mounts and rough running from the extract fan, across axial fans, in-line fans and fan housings.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Earlsfield 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Earlsfield.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Earlsfield
Which fire authority looks after Earlsfield?
Earlsfield is in the area of London Fire Brigade. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Earlsfield?
Food hygiene inspections in Earlsfield are carried out by Wandsworth council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.

Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Extract fan cleaning in Earlsfield: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 62 pubs, bars and clubs and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Earlsfield. 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. Fire safety in Earlsfield falls to London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St James' Hospital about 1 mile east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you cook for passing trade around Earlsfield station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Beatrix Potter Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them and we check the area around the outlet. We note any grease around the fan.
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
For extract fan cleaning in Earlsfield, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Earlsfield
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A motor that has burnt out
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
