In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Somers Town is normally done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Somers Town
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 352 pubs, bars and clubs and about 160 hotels and B&Bs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Somers Town. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Fire safety in Somers Town falls to 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. London jobs usually start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mary's Church or anywhere around Somers Town, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Elizabeth Garrett Anderson and Obstetric Hospital (about under half a mile south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Mary and St Pancras Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Questions from Somers Town
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Somers Town?
The local authority for Somers Town is Camden council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Which fire service covers Somers Town?
Fire safety enforcement in Somers Town is handled by London Fire Brigade. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
A common cause is grease. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive 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. If your building in Somers Town has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Somers Town
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- An impeller that is bent or split
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans

What else we do in Somers Town
Why act early in Somers Town
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. A building in Somers Town may have flats or offices above and alongside, and a fault in the system can affect them too.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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. Leave those to us.
