Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Old Oak Common
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will give you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Old Oak Common, usually within one working day. Common call-outs are for rough running from the extract fan and weak extraction at the canopy, across roof-mounted fans, discharge points and axial fans.
In a London area like Old Oak Common, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When to call us in Old Oak Common
A greasy fan in Old Oak Common is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it and an overworked motor runs hotter.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Burning smells from the fan area
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Old Oak Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What a clean won’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Wiring faults to the fan
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Old Oak Common: your questions answered
Can you work in Old Oak Common outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Old Oak Common can fit around your hours. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Old Oak Common?
Fire safety enforcement in Old Oak Common is handled by London Fire Brigade. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. That helps when the fan needs attention before the next full clean, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Old Oak Common.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Part by part
Wall fans
Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so we plan how to reach and clean them. If it cannot be reached fully, the report says so.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.
