Managing agents and facilities teams in Hurlingham
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Hurlingham
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing and we clean it off. We are often asked to deal with a fan coated in grease inside its housing and a noisy fan that has got louder over time, across axial fans, fan housings and in-line fans.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Hurlingham is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. Before any visit in Hurlingham, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Advice
Extract fan cleaning in Hurlingham: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 597 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 104 takeaways in and around Hurlingham, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Environmental health officers from Hammersmith and Fulham council inspect food businesses in Hurlingham. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Hurlingham is Western Hospital, about 1 mile north. Where a hall near St Dionis, or anywhere in Hurlingham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Hurlingham is about 2 miles south of Kensington, in Greater London. Every kind of commercial site in Hurlingham, extract fan cleaning is something we can help with. We can work out of hours so trading isn’t interrupted. Hurlingham is one of 764 towns, villages and districts in Greater London we cover for commercial clients.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Hurlingham?
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Hurlingham as anywhere. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it and an overworked motor runs hotter.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
For schools such as Sulivan Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Make sure the fan is included each time
When we’ve finished, the fan is reassembled and run. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
Questions from Hurlingham
Who inspects food businesses in Hurlingham?
Kitchens in Hurlingham are inspected by Hammersmith and Fulham council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you work at weekends in Hurlingham?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Hurlingham doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
Every clean has a photo report, with anything we noticed. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
What happens if it’s left?
A fan clean in Hurlingham does not take long: it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. Planning ahead in Hurlingham lets you pick a quiet night rather than lose a busy one.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A motor that has burnt out
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Centrifugal fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
- In-line fans

What affects the quote in Hurlingham
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The number of sites or systems
- Parking and loading at the site
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
