Extract fan cleaning in Fortune Green
In Fortune Green, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. The result is photographed for your records. If you have hot, greasy smells near the fan and less air being pulled from the kitchen, we can put it right.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Fortune Green is typically done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Fortune Green is no exception.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Fortune Green kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 467 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 145 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Fortune Green. 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. Fortune Green is covered by London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Luke, or anywhere in Fortune Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Luke's Church of England School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. For kitchens close to West Hampstead Thameslink station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

What happens if it’s left?
A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Many fan problems start with grease, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.

Common questions in Fortune Green
Is parking a problem for work in Fortune Green?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Fortune Green makes the visit easier to plan. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit normally gets round them.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Fortune Green?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Fortune Green. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we’ll book around them.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Before and after photos go into a report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
Fan repair and replacement is part of what we do. If cleaning shows a worn motor, bearings or impeller, we will tell you and quote for the repair.
How the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, so grease and wear build up together. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface and we check the area around the outlet. We note any grease around the fan.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
When something else is needed
Extract fan cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It does not solve:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Wiring faults to the fan
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem 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 can diagnose it and quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
