- A motor area thick with grease
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Report rattles or humming early
You get before and after photos of the impeller and housing. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
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.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Lisson Grove
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but a fan can also need attention on its own, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. We are often asked to deal with a motor area thick with grease and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles, across centrifugal fans, fan housings and roof-mounted fans.
In a London area like Lisson Grove, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
What affects the quote in Lisson Grove
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The scale of the work
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How easy every part is to reach
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Part by part
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. We clean it along with the blades.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them, so the outlet area is checked too. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Grease, kitchens and Lisson Grove
The FSA’s data shows about 81 pubs, bars and clubs and about 153 hotels and B&Bs registered in Lisson Grove and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kitchens in Lisson Grove get their food hygiene inspections from Westminster council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Lisson Grove sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Gateway Academy, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Paul's Community Church or anywhere around Lisson Grove, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Common questions in Lisson Grove
Which fire authority looks after Lisson Grove?
Lisson Grove 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.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Lisson Grove in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 71 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Lisson Grove, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before work begins.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits, and we clear up before we go. For a job in Lisson Grove, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Advice
Common problems we fix in Lisson Grove
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan, wearing bearings and mounts. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Rough running from the extract fan
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
If you cook for passing trade around London Marylebone station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
