About our extract fan cleaning in Walham Green
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. If you have an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and a smell of hot grease from the extract, we can put it right, from discharge points, in-line fans and roof-mounted fans onwards.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in Walham Green, that usually means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Questions from Walham Green
Do you work at weekends in Walham Green?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Walham Green needn’t be disturbed. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Walham Green in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Walham Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 59 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and if it fails outright, our 24/7 emergency line is there.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A motor that has burnt out
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Axial fans
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Report grease escaping from the fan
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Keep the route to the fan clear. 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.
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. On site, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. In Walham Green, as across London, we normally work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
Different parts, different methods
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing, once they’re isolated.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. We clean them where they can be safely reached, with any limits noted.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Walham Green
How fast a fan gets greasy in Walham Green 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.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Chelsea and Westminster Hospital (about 0.5 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

How we price extract fan cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The size of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether several sites go on one quote
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Extract fan cleaning in Walham Green: the local picture
There are about 844 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 119 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Walham Green, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Walham Green sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Food hygiene inspections in Walham Green are the job of Hammersmith and Fulham council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John or elsewhere in Walham Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Commuter trade near Imperial Wharf station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

Why act early in Walham Green
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the motor runs under more strain. It’s better booked as a planned job in Walham Green than handled as an emergency.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
