About our extract fan cleaning in Edgware
In Edgware, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. Typical jobs include less air being pulled from the kitchen and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, across fan housings, in-line fans and centrifugal fans.
In a London area like Edgware, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in Edgware is typically done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.

What else we do in Edgware
When to call us in Edgware
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan and puts strain on the bearings. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Andrew or elsewhere in Edgware, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether VAT is included
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
What affects the quote in Edgware
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
For extract fan cleaning in Edgware, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Report rattles or humming early
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
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.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Edgware
Can the work in Edgware be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Edgware doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Edgware?
Kitchens in Edgware are inspected by Barnet council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
We always isolate the fan first, so it cannot run during the clean. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. As a guide, it takes an hour or two for most single fans.
What happens if it’s left?
A fan that sounds rough in Edgware 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 Edgware costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.

Kitchen extracts in Edgware
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 12 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Edgware. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. Kitchens in Edgware get their food hygiene inspections from Barnet council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Headstone Manor is about 3.9 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Edgware is Edgware Community Hospital, about 0.9 miles south.

Part by part
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.
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.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
