How we handle extract fan cleaning in Queensbury
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. The way in depends on the type, and we plan that during the survey. Typical jobs include a fan shaking on its mounts and grease stains around the discharge, on discharge points, in-line fans and fan housings.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. In Queensbury, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
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, and we have been trading since 2009.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two for most single fans. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Queensbury.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A motor that has burnt out
- 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 give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- In-line fans

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Queensbury
How fast a fan gets greasy in Queensbury depends on the cooking: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Edgware Community Hospital (about 1.3 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What your quote should include
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Part by part
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so we clean what we safely can.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, and anything we cannot reach is recorded.
FAQs for Queensbury
Is parking a problem for work in Queensbury?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Who inspects food businesses in Queensbury?
That’s Brent council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Queensbury. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it can’t run during the clean. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, it should be. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and if it fails outright, our 24/7 emergency line is there.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Leave it or put it right?
A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. A booked night’s work in Queensbury costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Kitchen extracts in Queensbury
Food Standards Agency records list about 164 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 77 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Queensbury. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. In Queensbury, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Brent council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. In London, kitchens are normally cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near All Saints Church or elsewhere in Queensbury, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Queensbury (Headstone Manor is about 2.7 miles west), fitting access panels needs care.
