Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
About our extract fan cleaning in Stonebridge
In Stonebridge, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. The work covers roof-mounted fans, fan housings and centrifugal fans, and the jobs we see most are a fan left out of previous cleans and a fan shaking on its mounts.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. In Stonebridge, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
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.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes an hour or two for most single fans, and we clear up before we go. In a London area like Stonebridge, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- 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.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
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.
Stonebridge: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Stonebridge?
That’s 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.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Stonebridge?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Stonebridge, and about any building rules on loading. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. If a fan cannot be reached, the report says so, so you always know what was cleaned.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Stonebridge?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before we start.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Grease, kitchens and Stonebridge
Food Standards Agency data counts about 242 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 190 takeaways in and around Stonebridge, up to about a mile and a half out. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. The fire and rescue service for Stonebridge is 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. Environmental health officers from Brent council inspect food businesses in Stonebridge. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Neasden Hospital is the nearest hospital to Stonebridge, about 0.6 miles north. School kitchens, at schools like The Stonebridge School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Saint Michael and All Angels, or anywhere in Stonebridge, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

There’s a railway station in Stonebridge itself: Harlesden station. Other landmarks nearby include Neasden Hospital (0.6 miles north) and Brent Museum and Archives (1.5 miles east). The countryside around Stonebridge includes The Long Water and Hanger Hill Wood.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Make sure the fan is included each time
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.
How the job changes from site to site
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A motor that has burnt out
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.
