Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Holloway
If the extract fan in Holloway has become noisy, weak or greasy? A few details or a photo help when you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will send you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Holloway, typically within one working day. Common call-outs are for less air being pulled from the kitchen and a fan shaking on its mounts, across axial fans, centrifugal fans and roof-mounted fans.
In a village or hamlet like Holloway, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: 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. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. 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 catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Holloway
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Holloway. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. It’s Windsor and Maidenhead council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Holloway. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Holloway sits within the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
For schools such as Burchetts Green CofE Infants' School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Harleyford Manor, about 2.7 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near Holloway; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Holloway is St Mark's Hospital, about 1.8 miles east.

How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two for most single fans. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Holloway.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice
What affects the quote in Holloway
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- How big the system is
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Part by part
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Why deal with it now?
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. In a small place like Holloway, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
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 not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Holloway questions
Do you work overnight in Holloway?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Holloway doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can school kitchens in Holloway be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 9 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Holloway, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
