About our extract fan cleaning in Mayfair
If the extract fan in Mayfair has become noisy, weak or greasy? A few details or a photo help when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and you will get a fixed price, typically within one working day. The work covers in-line fans, centrifugal fans and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are a heavily greased fan housing and grease stains around the discharge.
Kitchens in Mayfair, 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, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What we’re called out for in Mayfair
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
Look out for any of the following:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Burning smells from the fan area
Bursars and site managers at schools such as LITE Regal International School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Mayfair
Do you work at weekends in Mayfair?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Mayfair keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Can a school canteen extract in Mayfair be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Mayfair, the Food Standards Agency lists about 88 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Mayfair?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen can’t cook while we work. That’s why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.

What else we do in Mayfair
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Keep records of every fan clean
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Leave it or put it right?
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller does not stay small. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown and a kitchen can’t cook safely without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. A busy site in Mayfair builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Extract fan cleaning around Mayfair
Look up Mayfair on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 3,882 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 380 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Mayfair. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. London Fire Brigade covers Mayfair. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Mayfair, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Westminster council. 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.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Mayfair is London Eye Hospital, about 0.5 miles north. Commuter trade near Bond Street station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or two for most single fans. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we are happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Mayfair.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
