Part by part

Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: chips, distortion or wear. We note any concerns.
About our extract fan cleaning in Notting Dale
Any fan serving a kitchen in Notting Dale is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. We are often asked to deal with a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and vibration from an unbalanced impeller, across roof-mounted fans, centrifugal fans and fan housings.
Kitchens in Notting Dale, 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.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and 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.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Notting Dale
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
FAQs for Notting Dale
Which environmental health team covers Notting Dale?
In Notting Dale, it’s Kensington and Chelsea council that carries out food hygiene inspections. 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 Notting Dale?
Fire safety enforcement in Notting Dale is handled by London Fire Brigade. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
A single accessible fan does not take long, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. We plan it out of hours.
Is Notting Dale in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Notting Dale.
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.
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 cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Extract fan cleaning around Notting Dale
The FSA’s data shows about 93 pubs and bars and about 110 hotels and guest houses registered across Notting Dale and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Food hygiene inspections in Notting Dale are the job of Kensington and Chelsea council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Notting Dale is covered by London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you run a café or takeaway near Shepherds Bush station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. School kitchens, at schools like Thomas Jones Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Sava or elsewhere in Notting Dale, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Why it’s worth doing now in Notting Dale
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
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.
The process
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Notting Dale is no exception.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
