Extract Fan Cleaning in Tyburn

- An extract fan with no cleaning record
What the work involves, part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, so grease and wear build up together. Regular cleans help it keep going.
Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Tyburn
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. We’re often asked to deal with rough running from the extract fan and grease escaping from the fan outlet, across axial fans, discharge points and centrifugal fans.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. For a kitchen in Tyburn, that usually 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 pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Tyburn
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 162 pubs, bars and clubs and about 247 hotels and B&Bs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Tyburn. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected. Environmental health officers from Westminster council inspect food businesses in Tyburn. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
For schools such as Hampden Gurney CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of the Annunciation or anywhere around Tyburn, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Leave it or put it right?
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.

What we are called out for in Tyburn
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. When filters do not seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
A hospital like Fortius Clinic, about 0.5 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Make sure the fan is reachable. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Tyburn questions
Can school kitchens in Tyburn be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 78 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Tyburn. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will fit the work in.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Tyburn?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Tyburn. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
Allow an hour or two for most single fans. We will confirm the time when we quote.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. For a job in Tyburn, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Advice
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- How big the system is
- The condition of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
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’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
