Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Holland Park
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found, before signing it off. Typical jobs include rough running from the extract fan and thick grease on the impeller and casing, across axial fans, fan housings and in-line fans.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. For a kitchen in Holland Park, that normally means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Holland Park
Food Standards Agency records list about 1,362 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 174 sandwich bars and takeaways in Holland Park and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Kitchens in Holland Park get their food hygiene inspections from Hammersmith and Fulham council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Holland Park falls to London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
A kitchen near Kensington Olympia station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Holland Park 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; St Mary Abbot's Hospital is the nearest hospital to Holland Park, about 0.7 miles south-east.

What affects the quote in Holland Park
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How many systems or sites are involved
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
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. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we’re happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Holland Park.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear the space around the work

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
File the photo report with your other extract records. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Why act early in Holland Park
For a kitchen in Holland Park, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it so a full TR19 clean may be due. For a site in Holland Park, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Holland Park questions
Can the work in Holland Park be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Holland Park can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Holland Park?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Holland Park. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. That helps when the fan needs attention before the next full clean, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- Damaged fan blades
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
