Extract fan cleaning in Nine Elms
A clean fan is not a repaired fan. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we will tell you and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. Common call-outs are for thick grease on the impeller and casing and grease stains around the discharge, on in-line fans, centrifugal fans and fan housings.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Nine Elms is typically done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What affects the quote in Nine Elms
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Common questions in Nine Elms
Is parking a problem for work in Nine Elms?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Nine Elms, and about any building rules on loading. Working overnight, as we often do in London, normally makes it simpler.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Nine Elms?
Food hygiene inspections in Nine Elms are carried out by Wandsworth council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Grease readings and the fan’s condition can show it needs more.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do we need to close while you work?
Typically not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Nine Elms
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Damaged fan blades
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- Discharge points
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When your team notices a problem 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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Nine Elms
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Nine Elms kitchens: local notes

Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Nine Elms 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. It’s Wandsworth council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Nine Elms. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
School kitchens, at schools like St Gabriel's CofE Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in Nine Elms is usually done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Run the extract throughout cooking
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.
Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.
