Hampstead Garden Suburb extract fan cleaning

- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hampstead Garden Suburb
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. Typical jobs include a noisy fan that has got louder over time and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan, across discharge points, in-line fans and roof-mounted fans.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. In Hampstead Garden Suburb, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Leave it or put it right?
A fan that sounds rough in Hampstead Garden Suburb is often telling you the extract needs a clean. If the fan is coated, the duct before it normally is too so a full TR19 clean may be due. Leaving it on a busy London site only adds to the work.

Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Run the extract throughout cooking
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
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.

Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Hampstead Garden Suburb in the summer holidays?

Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen can’t cook while we work. That is why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How long is a fan clean?
A single accessible fan doesn’t take long, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
What affects the quote in Hampstead Garden Suburb

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Hampstead Garden Suburb
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.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Highgate Private Hospital about 1.3 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the quote shows VAT
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too.

- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare

- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
