How we handle extract fan cleaning in Stockwell
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A heart under strain works harder for less. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look so you get a clean bill of health. Typical jobs include less air being pulled from the kitchen and grease stains around the discharge, on in-line fans, roof-mounted fans and centrifugal fans.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Stockwell is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Stockwell.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about parking and loading

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition of the system
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Questions from Stockwell
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Stockwell?
That is Lambeth council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Stockwell. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Stockwell out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 70 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Stockwell, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Stockwell?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: every 3, 6 or 12 months. Some fans need attention sooner.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How long is a fan clean?
One easily reached fan is quick, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
What happens if it’s left?
The fan is part of the fire path. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Stockwell?
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Grease stains around the discharge
Commuter trade near Brixton station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Stockwell and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Extract fan cleaning in Stockwell: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 107 pubs, bars and clubs and about 10 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered in and around Stockwell, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Lambeth council inspect food businesses in Stockwell. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. In London, kitchens are usually cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Stockwell is St Giles' Hospital, about 1.7 miles east. Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Andrew's Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
