How we handle extract fan cleaning in Park Royal
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. The work covers discharge points, fan housings and centrifugal fans, and people most often call us about a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and hot, greasy smells near the fan.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Park Royal 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.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why it’s worth doing now in Park Royal
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. A building in Park Royal may have flats or offices above and alongside, and a fault in the system can affect them too.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Why us?
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- We’re fully insured

Park Royal: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Park Royal?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can a school canteen extract in Park Royal be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 38 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Park Royal, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
One easily reached fan is quick, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. We plan it out of hours.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Is Park Royal in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Park Royal, as part of our area across London and the South East.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Before any visit in Park Royal, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
When we’ve finished, the fan is reassembled and run. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Part by part
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing, once they’re isolated.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- The condition of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Park Royal
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Park Royal and across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Park Royal kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 41 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 6 hotels and B&Bs within about 1.5 miles of central Park Royal. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. The fire and rescue service for Park Royal is 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. It’s Ealing council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Park Royal. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as West Twyford Primary School or anywhere near Park Royal, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Gabriel's Church or elsewhere in Park Royal, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Park Royal is Central Middlesex Hospital, about less than half a mile north-east.
