Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Kenton
Not all extract fans are the same: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. Common call-outs are for a fan that no longer moves enough air and a fan shaking on its mounts, across discharge points, fan housings and centrifugal fans.
Kitchens in Kenton, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What the work involves, part by part
Fan housings and motors
Motors and their electrics are kept dry and treated with care, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so we clean what we safely can.
Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Kenton?
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. When filters don’t seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Kenton is St. Mark's Hospital, about 0.9 miles south-west.
What your quote should include
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What paperwork you get at the end
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
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.
Make sure the fan is reachable. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy every part is to reach
- How big the system is
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How many systems or sites are involved
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.

What else we do in Kenton
Grease, kitchens and Kenton
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 227 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 110 sandwich bars and takeaways in Kenton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Food hygiene inspections in Kenton are the job of Harrow council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Kenton is covered by London Fire Brigade. 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 St Gregory's Catholic Science College, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. For kitchens close to Kenton station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
Kenton is about 2 miles south of Stanmore, in Greater London. Across the HA3 area, we cover extract fan cleaning for commercial sites. Our area takes in 764 places across Greater London, from busy centres to quieter spots. London is in our area too, around 11 miles away.
Extract fan cleaning in HA3, HA7 and HA1 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. If you need extract fan cleaning at premises on Retreat Close, Kenton Road and Woodgrange Avenue or a nearby road, we can help. You’ll find Kenton on the A4006, which makes it straightforward for our technicians to reach for out-of-hours visits. Nearby, we also carry out extract fan cleaning in South Kenton (1 mile south), Northwick Park (1 mile south-west), Greenhill (1 mile west), Wealdstone (1 mile north-west) and Harrow on the Hill (2 miles south-west). We also work in nearby towns such as London (11 miles south-east), City of Westminster (8 miles south-east), Marylebone (8 miles south-east), Kensington (7 miles south-east), St Pancras (9 miles south-east) and Shoreditch (11 miles south-east).
What’s near Kenton
Typical jobs here are in premises near Uxendon Manor Primary School, The New Moon pub and Preston Park and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Kenton station, roughly 0.5 miles south-west of the centre. A little further out are St. Anns (1.3 miles west) and Hilfield Castle (4.9 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Masons Field and Northala Fields.
What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Kenton is no exception.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Kenton
Who inspects food businesses in Kenton?
The local authority for Kenton is Harrow council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Kenton?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Kenton. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
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.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
