Professional extract fan cleaning in and around Harrow Weald, booked around your opening hours and signed off in writing with pictures.
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Harrow Weald.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

About our extract fan cleaning in Harrow Weald
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. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. If you’re dealing with grease around the motor and its mounts and less air being pulled from the kitchen, we can put it right.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Harrow Weald is usually done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Common questions in Harrow Weald
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Harrow Weald?
Food hygiene inspections in Harrow Weald are carried out by Harrow council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which fire service covers Harrow Weald?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Harrow Weald. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, we do. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
Extract fan cleaning in Harrow Weald: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 15 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered in and around Harrow Weald, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. London jobs normally start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. Environmental health officers from Harrow council inspect food businesses in Harrow Weald. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Northwick Park Hospital is the nearest hospital to Harrow Weald, about 2.1 miles south. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Michael & All Angels or elsewhere in Harrow Weald, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Commuter trade near Headstone Lane station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The times the site is available
- The condition of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
If you need extract fan cleaning in Harrow Weald, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send photos or your last report if you can. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface and we check the area around the outlet. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so we plan how to reach and clean them. If it cannot be reached fully, the report says so.
What happens if it’s left?
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
