About our extract fan cleaning in Pinner Green
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. The work covers axial fans, discharge points and in-line fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan that no longer moves enough air and a fan left out of previous cleans.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Pinner Green 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What the work involves, part by part
Wall fans
Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
Impellers and blades
The blades of the impeller do the work, and grease builds up on them unevenly. That is what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Questions from Pinner Green
Which fire service covers Pinner Green?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Pinner Green. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can a school canteen extract in Pinner Green be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 22 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Pinner Green. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. Keep it with your maintenance log.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Cleaning removes grease, but it cannot fix worn parts. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Wiring faults to the fan
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.

Pinner Green kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 16 pubs, bars and clubs in Pinner Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading is not affected. Kitchens in Pinner Green get their food hygiene inspections from Harrow council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Harlyn Primary School or anywhere near Pinner Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Christian Science Church or elsewhere in Pinner Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The number of sites or systems
- Parking and loading at the site

Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes an hour or two for most single fans. In a London area like Pinner Green, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Leave a clear route to the fan
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
When to call us in Pinner Green
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A motor area thick with grease
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Headstone Manor is about 1.7 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
