From £45 fixed, one technician for domestic hoods and bathroom fans; two for island canopies and any commercial kitchen Insured cleaners, filters degreased in the tank, and airflow tested before we leave.
Overview
Extractor fan cleaning in St Paul's EC4 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in City of London, most of them post-war. 4,914 households sit inside this EC4 patch, 98% of them flats, so we quote on access near St Paul's Cathedral rather than a London average.
How it works
Step 1
We measure the pull before we start so the improvement is a fact, not a feeling.
Step 2
Mesh and baffle filters into the heated tank; charcoal cartridges checked for age.
Step 3
Degreased by hand, the impeller cleaned blade by blade because that is where the noise comes from.
Step 4
The accessible run is cleared and the damper checked for the flap that has been stuck shut for years.
Step 5
Rebuilt, retested and photographed, with a note if we found anything a landlord should know about.
Why choose us
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in St Paul's, with metal stud partitions between rooms — the reality on the streets around St Paul's Cathedral in EC4, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in EC4, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — with 15% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
Domestic work runs under £5m public liability; commercial canopies are cleaned to the TR19 grease standard with a certificate your insurer will accept.
One technician for domestic hoods and bathroom fans; two for island canopies and any commercial kitchen. Pedestrianised zones and camera-enforced streets; loading needs a permit from the Corporation.
Next-day availability across London, with commercial work scheduled overnight or on closing days. St Paul's (Central) is the nearest station, so a EC4 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.

Scope
I asked Hello Services for a deep clean of the carpets of a house in London we were moving into.

Working in St Paul's
Census 2021 puts St Paul's at 4,914 households with a median age of 36.9. The post-war stock is renter-heavy, which is why 2% houses and 98% flats need different handling in EC4.
48% of households rent privately and 37% own, which is why extractor fan cleaning demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in St Paul's, with metal stud partitions between rooms — the reality on the streets around St Paul's Cathedral, so the fixing that matters in St Paul's is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in EC4, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — with 15% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
Two streets can behave very differently in St Paul's: cathedral precinct, One New Change shopping and the streets running down to the Millennium Bridge. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. St Paul's sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: pedestrianised zones and camera-enforced streets; loading needs a permit from the Corporation. St Paul's (Central) is the nearest station, and one technician for domestic hoods and bathroom fans; two for island canopies and any commercial kitchen.
