Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Osterley
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing and we clean it off. The work covers in-line fans, discharge points and axial fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan coated in grease inside its housing and a fan left out of previous cleans.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in Osterley, that usually means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Extract fan cleaning around Osterley
Food Standards Agency records include about 33 pubs, bars and clubs and about 11 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Osterley. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. The fire and rescue service for Osterley is 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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like West Middlesex University Hospital about 1.3 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run a café or takeaway near Isleworth station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

Questions from Osterley
Do you work at weekends in Osterley?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Osterley keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Does London parking affect a job in Osterley?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
It has to be off and isolated, for safety. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking is not affected.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or two for most single fans. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Osterley.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely 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.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Advice
Part by part
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.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Long cooking hours mean more grease reaches the fan. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The size of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How easy every part is to reach
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your last certificate, test record or report
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A fan that will not start
- An impeller that is bent or split
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
- Discharge points
- Axial fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Roof-mounted fans
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.

When to call us in Osterley
How fast a fan gets greasy in Osterley depends on the cooking: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
What we are most often called out for:
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
School kitchens, at schools like Isleworth and Syon School for Boys for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
