Greater London · Extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning in North Wembley, Greater London
We cover North Wembley for cleaning of kitchen extract fans, impellers, fan housings and discharge points. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
What the work involves, part by part
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so we plan how to reach and clean them. Anything out of reach is recorded.
Extract fan cleaning in North Wembley
Any fan serving a kitchen in North Wembley is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. The work covers in-line fans, discharge points and centrifugal fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a smell of hot grease from the extract and an extract fan with no cleaning record.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. In North Wembley, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in North Wembley is no exception.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- 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.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Common problems we fix in North Wembley
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan, wearing bearings and mounts. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan that has never been cleaned
If you run a café or takeaway near Wembley Central station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
Before you book anyone
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- If they look at the system before pricing
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- Wiring faults to the fan

Why deal with it now?
The fan is part of the fire path. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Every month a London system goes without attention adds to what has to be done later.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.

Kitchen extracts in North Wembley
Food Standards Agency records list about 204 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 206 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around North Wembley, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Fire safety in North Wembley falls to 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.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to North Wembley is Clementine Churchill Hospital, about 1.4 miles north-west. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Park Lane Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Leave a clear route to the fan
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Keep the route to the fan clear. 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.
FAQs for North Wembley
Which environmental health team covers North Wembley?
Kitchens in North Wembley 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.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in North Wembley during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 21 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of North Wembley. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What accreditations do you have?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so the site doesn’t lose a service.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
An unbalanced impeller, usually from uneven grease, is a common cause. After cleaning, we will tell you if wear or damage is also involved.
