About our extract fan cleaning in Little Venice
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. If you’re dealing with grease stains around the discharge and hot, greasy smells near the fan, we can put it right.
In a London area like Little Venice, 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, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Why deal with it now?
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller does not stay small. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure and a kitchen cannot cook safely without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. A booked night’s work in Little Venice costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan cleaning won’t do:
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A motor that has burnt out
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.

Advice
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Report rattles or humming early
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Keep access to the fan clear
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Little Venice
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan and puts strain on the bearings. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
A hospital like Maida Vale Hospital for Nervous Diseases, about less than half a mile north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Common questions in Little Venice
Can school kitchens in Little Venice be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 101 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Little Venice. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Little Venice?
Food hygiene inspections in Little Venice are carried out by Westminster council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. Typically it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
Do we need to close while you work?
Normally not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
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 where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
You get a photo report with before and after photos of the fan. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Grease, kitchens and Little Venice
Look up Little Venice on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 1,443 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 164 takeaways across Little Venice and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. The fire and rescue service for Little Venice is London Fire Brigade. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Saviour's Church, or anywhere in Little Venice, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Ark Paddington Green Primary Academy or anywhere near Little Venice, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
