Extract fan cleaning across Kensal Green

How the visit works

We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Kensal Green.

  1. Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
  2. Once isolated, we open the fan up.
  3. Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
  4. Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
  5. We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.

Before we arrive

  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

How we handle extract fan cleaning in Kensal Green

We’ve been trading since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you’re dealing with a motor area thick with grease and burning smells from the fan area, we can help.

London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. In Kensal Green, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.

We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What extract fan cleaning cannot fix

Extract fan cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It does not solve:

  • Grease in the canopy and ductwork
  • Wiring faults to the fan
  • A motor that has burnt out

If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before booking.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Fan housings
  • Axial fans
  • In-line fans
  • Roof-mounted fans
  • Discharge points
  • Centrifugal fans

Between visits

Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:

  • Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
  • Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
  • Keep the grease filters clean and in place
  • Run the extract throughout cooking

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.

Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.

What staff can safely do

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Kensal Green

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.

For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.

Kitchen extracts in Kensal Green

Look up Kensal Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 757 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 247 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Kensal Green. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Kitchens in Kensal Green get their food hygiene inspections from Brent council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Kensal Green is London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Martin or elsewhere in Kensal Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Kensal Green is Princess Louise Hospital, about 0.7 miles south. School kitchens, at schools like Princess Frederica CofE Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Why it’s worth doing now in Kensal Green

A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. In Kensal Green, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

What the work involves, part by part

Inline duct fans

Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing after isolating them.

Fan housings and motors

Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. We clean it along with the blades.
