How we handle extract fan cleaning in Greenhill
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a fan can also need attention on its own, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. Common call-outs are for a fan shaking on its mounts and grease around the motor and its mounts, across in-line fans, fan housings and centrifugal fans.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Greenhill is typically done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
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.
What a clean won’t put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A motor that has burnt out
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Greenhill kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 23 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs across Greenhill and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Greenhill sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Food hygiene inspections in Greenhill are the job of Harrow council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Where a hall near Church of St John the Baptist, or anywhere in Greenhill, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Saint Jerome Church of England Bilingual School or anywhere near Greenhill, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
File the photo report with your other extract records. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Keep the route to the fan clear. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Greenhill.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Advice
When to call us in Greenhill
A greasy fan in Greenhill is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A motor area thick with grease
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Northwick Park Hospital (about 0.7 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Greenhill
Is parking a problem for work in Greenhill?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Greenhill, and about any building rules on loading. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Greenhill?
The local authority for Greenhill is Harrow council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
It has to be off and isolated before anyone touches it. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking isn’t affected.
Do you cover Greenhill?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Greenhill.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. If a fan can’t be reached, the report says so, so you always know what was cleaned.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
