How we handle extract fan cleaning in Notting Hill
We’ve been trading since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. If you’re dealing with burning smells from the fan area and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease, we can put it right, from centrifugal fans, fan housings and discharge points onwards.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Notting Hill is usually 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 paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Questions from Notting Hill
Can you work in Notting Hill outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Notting Hill can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Notting Hill in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 97 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Notting Hill, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Staff cleaning does not 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.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Notting Hill?
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. The grease that is left lands on the blades and the casing where the spinning blades spread it around.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Burning smells from the fan area
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St John's Notting Hill, or anywhere in Notting Hill, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether a survey comes first
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
What the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Fan housings and motors
Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.
Extract fan cleaning around Notting Hill
Food Standards Agency data counts about 1,288 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 167 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Notting Hill. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. London jobs usually start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. In Notting Hill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Kensington and Chelsea council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A kitchen near Shepherds Bush station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Paddington General Hospital is the nearest hospital to Notting Hill, about 1 mile north.

What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- A few general shots of the system
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it

When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Centrifugal fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
- Fan housings
- Axial fans

Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Notting Hill and across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Notting Hill needs from us.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear loose items from the work area
