Grease, kitchens and Sudbury Hill
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 20 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Sudbury Hill. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In Sudbury Hill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Brent council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. London jobs typically start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
If you cook for passing trade around Sudbury & Harrow Road station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in Sudbury Hill, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

About our extract fan cleaning in Sudbury Hill
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. 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. We’re often asked to deal with a fan that hums, whines or rumbles and a fan shaking on its mounts, across fan housings, in-line fans and axial fans.
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 Sudbury Hill, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
When we’ve finished, the fan is reassembled and run. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
How the visit works
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Sudbury Hill is no exception.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- 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.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Sudbury Hill
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 where the spinning blades spread it around.
Clients normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
A hospital like Clementine Churchill Hospital, about 1 mile north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- If they look at the system before pricing
Managing agents and facilities teams in Sudbury Hill
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Why deal with it now?
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)

Sudbury Hill questions
What do you need to know about parking in Sudbury Hill?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit usually gets round them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Sudbury Hill?
That’s Brent council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Sudbury Hill. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we’ll plan the visit around them.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
At least as often as the rest of the extract, which BESA guidance sets by daily cooking hours: from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use. Some fans need attention sooner.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen cannot cook while we work. That’s why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
Fan repair and replacement is part of what we do. If cleaning shows a worn motor, bearings or impeller, we will tell you and quote for the repair.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning

- Any permits to work or inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved

Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
