Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Haggerston
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. We’re often asked to deal with a fan shaking on its mounts and a fan left out of previous cleans, on roof-mounted fans, in-line fans and discharge points.
In a London area like Haggerston, 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Haggerston
Can you work in Haggerston outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Haggerston can fit around your hours. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Haggerston in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 64 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Haggerston. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract, from every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours of cooking a day to every 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.

What if the fan needs more than a clean?
A clean won’t mend wear. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Haggerston
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 279 pubs and bars and about 35 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in and around Haggerston, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. London jobs typically start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. The fire and rescue service for Haggerston is London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
A hospital like St Leonard's Hospital, about within half a mile south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Randal Cremer Primary School or anywhere near Haggerston, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

How it works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Haggerston.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
How we price extract fan cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The scale of the work
- 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 are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Haggerston
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. The grease that’s 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 after spotting one of these:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A heavily greased fan housing
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Columba or anywhere around Haggerston, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the price is fixed
Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
