About our extract fan cleaning in East Sheen
In East Sheen, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. If you’re dealing with vibration from an unbalanced impeller and a fan that no longer moves enough air, we can put it right, from fan housings, axial fans and roof-mounted fans onwards.
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 East Sheen, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
The sign-off is always in writing: 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.

How we price extract fan cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition of the system
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. In East Sheen, as across London, we usually work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.
East Sheen: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for work in East Sheen?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit usually gets round them.
Which fire authority looks after East Sheen?
East Sheen is in the area of London Fire Brigade. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we will plan the visit around them.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
One easily reached fan is quick, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. We plan it out of hours.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, if the fan needs it. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
Managing agents and facilities teams in East Sheen
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Why act early in East Sheen
A fan that sounds rough in East Sheen is often telling you the extract needs a clean. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it so a full TR19 clean may be due. A booked night’s work in East Sheen costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What you get with us

What else we do in East Sheen
Different parts, different methods
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, and anything we cannot reach is recorded.
Impellers and blades
Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
East Sheen kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 258 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 22 takeaways across East Sheen and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service. East Sheen is covered by London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
A hospital like Barnes Hospital, about 0.5 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. A kitchen near Mortlake station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Thomson House School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
