Mapesbury extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning for Mapesbury, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Grease stains around the discharge
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Mapesbury
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we’ll tell you and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. The work covers roof-mounted fans, in-line fans and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are a motor area thick with grease and grease escaping from the fan outlet.
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. For a kitchen in Mapesbury, that normally means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Mapesbury
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Mapesbury and across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
How we price extract fan cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
Whatever the type of site, the quote works 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.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Need a price for extract fan cleaning? Please call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’ll tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- A fan that won’t start
- Damaged fan blades
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

The process
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Mapesbury needs from us.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Advice
Extract fan cleaning around Mapesbury
There are about 204 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 234 sandwich bars and takeaways in Mapesbury and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Mapesbury sits within the area of 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.
A hospital like Neasden Hospital, about 0.9 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. For kitchens close to Wembley Stadium station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Michael the Archangel or elsewhere in Mapesbury, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Mapesbury is about 1 mile south-east of Wembley, in Greater London.

How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. That is what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
Mapesbury: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Mapesbury?
Kitchens in Mapesbury are inspected by Brent council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which fire authority looks after Mapesbury?
Mapesbury is in the area of London Fire Brigade. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
Every clean has a photo report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, we can clean just the fan. That helps when the fan needs attention before the next full clean, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
