About our extract fan cleaning in Hanworth
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. The work covers axial fans, roof-mounted fans and in-line fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan shaking on its mounts and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease.
In a London area like Hanworth, 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, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Hanworth: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Hanworth?
Food hygiene inspections in Hanworth are carried out by Richmond-Upon-Thames council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Is parking a problem for work in Hanworth?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Hanworth makes the visit easier to plan. Working overnight, as we often do in London, normally makes it simpler.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Why deal with it now?
A fan that sounds rough in Hanworth is often telling you the extract needs a clean. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it, so it’s worth checking the whole system. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.

What affects the quote in Hanworth
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises

Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
- A motor that has burnt out
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.

Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Long cooking hours mean more grease reaches the fan. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.

Kitchen extracts in Hanworth
Look up Hanworth on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 57 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 25 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Hanworth. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. In London, kitchens are usually cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier. It’s Richmond-Upon-Thames council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hanworth. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Hanworth?
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’re most often called out for:
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
For schools such as Buckingham Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we are happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Hanworth.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
