Extract fan cleaning in Westbourne Green, done properly
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but a fan can also need attention on its own, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. If you’re dealing with an extract fan with no cleaning record and grease stains around the discharge, we can put it right.
Kitchens in Westbourne Green, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Westbourne Green
The Food Standards Agency lists about 76 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 144 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses across Westbourne Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Kitchens in Westbourne Green get their food hygiene inspections from Westminster council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. In London, kitchens are normally cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Edward Wilson Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mary Magdalene or anywhere around Westbourne Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Leave it or put it right?
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller does not stay small. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown and a kitchen can’t cook safely without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Westbourne Green
Grease condenses as the air cools, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. So grease often settles heavily there.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Paddington General Hospital (about within half a mile north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Westbourne Green
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Westbourne Green in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 92 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Westbourne Green. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we will plan around them.
How do you handle parking and loading in Westbourne Green?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Westbourne Green makes the visit easier to plan. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit normally gets round them.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Every clean has a photo report, with anything we noticed. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Westbourne Green.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
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.

Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, so grease and wear build up together. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
What affects the quote in Westbourne Green
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
- The size of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
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 work begins, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
