Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Greenford and across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Greenford
Any fan serving a kitchen in Greenford is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. Typical jobs include a fan shaking on its mounts and less air being pulled from the kitchen, on centrifugal fans, in-line fans and fan housings.
In a London area like Greenford, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Extract fan cleaning in Greenford: the local picture
There are about 140 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 55 takeaways and sandwich shops in Greenford and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. In Greenford, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Ealing council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
School kitchens, at schools like Oldfield Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. For kitchens close to Greenford station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Greenford
Which environmental health team covers Greenford?
Kitchens in Greenford are inspected by Ealing council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Greenford?
Greenford 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.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
One easily reached fan is quick, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. Keep it with your maintenance log.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
At least as often as the rest of the extract, which BESA guidance sets by daily cooking hours: every 3, 6 or 12 months. A noisy or heavily coated fan may need it sooner.

Why deal with it now?
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen cannot cook safely. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. In Greenford, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.

What we are called out for in Greenford
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. The grease that is left lands on the blades and the casing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
Where a hall near Parish Church of the Holy Cross (old Church), or anywhere in Greenford, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What your quote should include
- When the next visit should be, and why
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the quote shows VAT
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Greenford is no exception.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know about parking and loading
