How we handle extract fan cleaning in Seven Sisters
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. The work covers centrifugal fans, roof-mounted fans and fan housings, and common reasons people get in touch are hot, greasy smells near the fan and a fan shaking on its mounts.
Kitchens in Seven Sisters, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, 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.

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Keep the route to the fan clear. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Kitchen extracts in Seven Sisters
The FSA’s data shows about 35 pubs and bars registered in Seven Sisters and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Haringey council inspect food businesses in Seven Sisters. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.

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.

What affects the quote in Seven Sisters
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The size of the system
- What state the system is in
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
For extract fan cleaning in Seven Sisters, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
Part by part
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Why act early in Seven Sisters
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. In Seven Sisters, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

FAQs for Seven Sisters
Does London parking affect a job in Seven Sisters?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.
Which fire authority looks after Seven Sisters?
Seven Sisters is in the area of London Fire Brigade. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
With the fan isolated, the extract is not running. That is why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
