Extract fan cleaning in Hanger Hill

How the visit works

Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. On site, 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 Hanger Hill is no exception.

  1. First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
  2. Once isolated, we open the fan up.
  3. The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
  4. We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
  5. The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Tell us where we can park and unload

Getting a quote

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.

About our extract fan cleaning in Hanger Hill

A clean fan is not a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. The work covers roof-mounted fans, fan housings and axial fans, and the jobs we see most are an extract fan with no cleaning record and rough running from the extract fan.

London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Hanger Hill is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.

Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why act early in Hanger Hill

Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger, while the motor runs under more strain. In a London building, a problem in a duct, damper or fan rarely stays in one unit.

What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Why us?

  • Trading since 2009
  • Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
  • Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
  • Photo reports with every job

What we’re called out for in Hanger Hill

Each blade collects a slightly different amount. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan, wearing bearings and mounts. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.

Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • A smell of hot grease from the extract
  • A fan that no longer moves enough air
  • A motor area thick with grease
  • Grease escaping from the fan outlet

Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Central Middlesex Hospital is the nearest hospital to Hanger Hill, about 1 mile north-east.

What your quote should include

  • If they look at the system before pricing
  • What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
  • How they set the interval to the next visit
  • What records you’ll receive afterwards

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Hanger Hill

Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:

  • What state the system is in
  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • Site rules, permits and inductions
  • How easy every part is to reach

Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What to send for a quote

Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:

  • The postcode and the type of business
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • Wide pictures of the system and the area around it

Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.

Common questions in Hanger Hill

How do you handle parking and loading in Hanger Hill?

Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Hanger Hill, and about any building rules on loading. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.

What does TR19 mean?

BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.

Why has my extract fan got louder?

An unbalanced impeller, typically from uneven grease, is a common cause. After cleaning, we’ll tell you if wear or damage is also involved.

What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?

Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. File it with your other extract records.

Hanger Hill kitchens: local notes

According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 64 pubs, bars and clubs and about 8 hotels and B&Bs across Hanger Hill 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. London Fire Brigade covers Hanger Hill. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Hanger Hill get their food hygiene inspections from Ealing council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.

If you cook for passing trade around Acton Main Line station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. For schools such as Holy Family Catholic Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Hanger Hill is about 1 mile north-west of Acton, in Greater London. We carry out extract fan cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Hanger Hill and the rest of Greater London. We cover 764 places across Greater London, large and small. For sites nearby, see our London page, about 8 miles away.

When it’s something else

We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:

  • A motor that has burnt out
  • An impeller that is bent or split
  • A faulty speed controller or isolator

If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on in Hanger Hill

  • In-line fans
  • Centrifugal fans
  • Discharge points
  • Fan housings
  • Roof-mounted fans
  • Axial fans

What your team can do, and what needs us

Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.

Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
