Extract fan cleaning in Hounslow West
Any fan serving a kitchen in Hounslow West is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. The work covers discharge points, in-line fans and fan housings, and common reasons people get in touch are a smell of hot grease from the extract and an extract fan with no cleaning record.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Hounslow West 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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Extract fan cleaning in Hounslow West: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 23 pubs and bars and about 16 hotels and guest houses across Hounslow West and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Food hygiene inspections in Hounslow West are the job of Hounslow council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. London jobs typically start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Osterley House is about 2.1 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Hounslow Heath Infant and Nursery School or anywhere near Hounslow West, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What else we do in Hounslow West
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Why deal with it now?
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Hounslow West
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. The difference throws the impeller off balance and puts strain on the bearings. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A motor area thick with grease
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Paul or anywhere around Hounslow West, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
When we have finished, the fan is reassembled and run. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Hounslow West questions
Who is the fire and rescue service for Hounslow West?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Hounslow West. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can a school canteen extract in Hounslow West be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 33 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Hounslow West. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
How much notice should we give?
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.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us.
