How we handle extract fan cleaning in Hammersmith
In Hammersmith, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. The result is photographed for your records. The work covers axial fans, discharge points and centrifugal fans, and the jobs we see most are grease escaping from the fan outlet and grease around the motor and its mounts.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. In Hammersmith, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
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, ready for your insurer.

Hammersmith kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 126 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 64 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Hammersmith. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Hammersmith sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. It’s Hammersmith and Fulham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hammersmith. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Corona Theatre School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; West London Hospital is the nearest hospital to Hammersmith, about less than half a mile south-east.

Hammersmith questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Hammersmith?
In Hammersmith, it’s Hammersmith and Fulham council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you come to Hammersmith after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Hammersmith can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. Keep it with your maintenance log.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Uneven grease on the impeller often causes it. After cleaning, we will tell you if wear or damage is also involved.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- A fan that will not start
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Hammersmith
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
What we are most often called out for:
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of the Holy Innocents or elsewhere in Hammersmith, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What to look for in a quote
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
What affects the quote in Hammersmith
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Parking and loading at the site
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Leave it or put it right?
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure and a kitchen can’t cook safely without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. Every month a London system goes without attention adds to what has to be done later.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. If your building in Hammersmith has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
