Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Fulwell
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. Each is isolated and opened in its own way, and we plan that during the survey. If you are dealing with a fan that hums, whines or rumbles and a fan left out of previous cleans, we can put it right, from in-line fans, discharge points and roof-mounted fans onwards.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. For a kitchen in Fulwell, that typically means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What the work involves, part by part
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them and we check the area around the outlet. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Keep records of every fan clean
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
Fulwell questions
Can a school canteen extract in Fulwell be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 15 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Fulwell. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Can you come to Fulwell after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
It takes an hour or two for most single fans. Your quote will give an idea.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
The fan must be isolated before anyone touches it. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking isn’t affected.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Fulwell kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 43 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Fulwell. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. In London, kitchens are typically cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier. London Fire Brigade covers Fulwell. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Michael's or anywhere around Fulwell, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. School kitchens, at schools like Stanley Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Teddington Memorial Hospital about 0.7 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Fulwell is about 1 mile south of Twickenham, in Greater London. Fulwell gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures. Fulwell is one of 764 towns, villages and districts in Greater London we cover for commercial clients. For sites nearby, see our London page (12 miles or so).
We work across TW11, TW2 and TW12 for extract fan cleaning and the streets around it. If you need extract fan cleaning at premises on Mays Road, Royal Road and Grove Road or a nearby road, our technicians can take on the work. Fulwell sits on or near the A311 and A313, which makes travel easy for extract fan cleaning. We also cover the places around Fulwell: Strawberry Hill (1 mile north-east), Hampton Hill (1 mile south-west), Teddington (1 mile south-east), Twickenham (1 mile north) and Whitton (1 mile north). Larger places within reach include London (12 miles east), City of Westminster (10 miles north-east), Marylebone (10 miles north-east), Kensington (8 miles north-east), St Pancras (12 miles north-east) and Shoreditch (13 miles north-east).
Around Fulwell
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Pope's Grotto pub, Thames Valley Grammar School and Waldegrave School. There’s a railway station in Fulwell itself: Fulwell station. A little further out are Treaty Centre (2.4 miles north) and Teddington Memorial Hospital (0.7 miles south-east). For a walk, there’s Kew Gardens Lake and Ham Lands.
What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Fulwell is typically out of hours.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Wiring faults to the fan
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
What happens if it’s left?
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. For a site in Fulwell, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
You will not 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.
