Extract fan cleaning in Hyde Park Estate, done properly
We’ve been trading since 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. The work covers in-line fans, axial fans and discharge points, and people most often call us about burning smells from the fan area and weak extraction at the canopy.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Hyde Park Estate 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, 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
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. In a London area like Hyde Park Estate, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote

Advice
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Hyde Park Estate
Do you work overnight in Hyde Park Estate?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Hyde Park Estate doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Hyde Park Estate?
Hyde Park Estate is in the area of London Fire Brigade. 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 look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Hyde Park Estate?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Common problems we fix in Hyde Park Estate
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Rough running from the extract fan
For schools such as Hampden Gurney CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before booking
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether a survey comes first
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- When the next visit should be, and why
What the work involves, part by part
Wall fans
Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.

Other services in Hyde Park Estate
Grease, kitchens and Hyde Park Estate
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 162 pubs and bars and about 247 hotels and B&Bs in and around Hyde Park Estate, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. In Hyde Park Estate, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Westminster 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. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
Where a hall near Church of St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Hyde Park Estate, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. A kitchen near London Paddington station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
