What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Extract fan cleaning in Stoke Newington
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A heart under strain works harder for less. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found, before signing it off. Common call-outs are for an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and an extract fan with no cleaning record, across in-line fans, fan housings and discharge points.
Kitchens in Stoke Newington, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Report grease escaping from the fan
File the photo report with your other extract records. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Common problems we fix in Stoke Newington
How fast a fan gets greasy in Stoke Newington depends on the cooking: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A heavily greased fan housing
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; German Hospital is the nearest hospital to Stoke Newington, about 1.3 miles south-east.

How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and blades
The blades of the impeller do the work, and grease builds up on them unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Wall fans
Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.
Leave it or put it right?
The fan is part of the fire path. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

What else we do in Stoke Newington
How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Stoke Newington.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Advice
Questions from Stoke Newington
Which fire authority looks after Stoke Newington?
Fire safety enforcement in Stoke Newington is handled by 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.
Is parking a problem for work in Stoke Newington?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit typically gets round them.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we will book around them.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Stoke Newington kitchens: local notes
There are about 648 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 156 sandwich bars and takeaways across Stoke Newington and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Environmental health officers from Hackney council inspect food businesses in Stoke Newington. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
If you cook for passing trade around Stoke Newington station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Mary's Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
