What extract fan cleaning looks like in Turnpike Lane
The FSA’s data shows about 57 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs registered across Turnpike Lane and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Turnpike Lane sits within the area of 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. In Turnpike Lane, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Haringey council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
For kitchens close to Hornsey station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Where a hall near Church of St John The Baptist (greek Orthodox), or anywhere in Turnpike Lane, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Extract fan cleaning in Turnpike Lane
Not all extract fans are the same: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. The way in depends on the type and the survey shows us how to reach it. If you have a fan that hums, whines or rumbles and a fan left out of previous cleans, we can put it right, from centrifugal fans, in-line fans and roof-mounted fans onwards.
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. For a kitchen in Turnpike Lane, that typically means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

FAQs for Turnpike Lane
Who inspects food businesses in Turnpike Lane?
In Turnpike Lane, it’s Haringey council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which fire authority looks after Turnpike Lane?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Turnpike Lane. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.

Different parts, different methods
Fan housings and motors
Motors and their electrics are kept dry and treated with care, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so we clean what we safely can.
Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.
Leave it or put it right?
A fan that sounds rough in Turnpike Lane is often telling you the extract needs a clean. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it, so it’s worth checking the whole system. A booked night’s work in Turnpike Lane costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- Full insurance on every job
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

Managing agents and facilities teams in Turnpike Lane
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. In Turnpike Lane, as across London, we normally work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The number of sites or systems
- Travel, parking and unloading
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- A few general shots of the system
If you need extract fan cleaning in Turnpike Lane, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
Common problems we fix in Turnpike Lane
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. The difference throws the impeller off balance and puts strain on the bearings. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
A hospital like Hornsey Central Hospital, about 1.1 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
