About our extract fan cleaning in St George in the East
A clean fan isn’t a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. Common call-outs are for a fan that has never been cleaned and hot, greasy smells near the fan, across in-line fans, roof-mounted fans and discharge points.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in St George in the East, that usually means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
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.

Common problems we fix in St George in the East
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.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Peter's or elsewhere in St George in the East, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Grease, kitchens and St George in the East
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 1,767 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 687 takeaways in St George in the East and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. It’s Tower Hamlets council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in St George in the East. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. London Fire Brigade covers St George in the East. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
A kitchen near Shadwell station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as The Royal London Hospital (about 0.7 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Why it’s worth doing now in St George in the East
The fan is part of the fire path. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will explain what it covers.

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- File the fan’s report with your other records
File the photo report with your other extract records. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
How it works
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. 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 couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in St George in the East.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Part by part
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen cannot afford a fan failure. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
FAQs for St George in the East
Which fire service covers St George in the East?
St George in the East is in the area of London Fire Brigade. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in St George in the East needn’t be disturbed. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
