Overview
Extractor fan cleaning in Old Street EC1V, explained
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Old Street, extractor fan cleaning here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 98% of Old Street's 4,949 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in EC1V shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How extractor fan cleaning works in Old Street
Five steps, the same on every EC1V job, so you know what happens before you commit. In EC1V, Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block — the pattern behind 4,949 households inside the EC1V neighbourhood is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Airflow test first
We measure the pull before we start so the improvement is a fact, not a feeling.
Step 2
Filters out
Mesh and baffle filters into the heated tank; charcoal cartridges checked for age.
Step 3
Canopy and impeller
Degreased by hand, the impeller cleaned blade by blade because that is where the noise comes from.
Step 4
Duct check
The accessible run is cleared and the damper checked for the flap that has been stuck shut for years.
Step 5
Test and report
Rebuilt, retested and photographed, with a note if we found anything a landlord should know about.
Why choose us
Why Old Street customers book us
Four things decide whether a EC1V job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Old Street walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in EC1V, often with surface conduit, and with 28% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in EC1V, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Old Street stock goes, measured on the walk in from Old Street (Northern, Great Northern) rather than assumed from a map.
Insured and documented
Domestic work runs under £5m public liability; commercial canopies are cleaned to the TR19 grease standard with a certificate your insurer will accept.
Crew sized to the job
One technician for domestic hoods and bathroom fans; two for island canopies and any commercial kitchen. Red-route roundabout with no kerbside loading, goods-lift booking in the towers and gated estate yards.
Fixed prices
Extractor fan cleaning prices in Old Street
Fixed prices for EC1V and the rest of Islington. Access sets the price. A pull-out hood at head height is quick; an island canopy over a hob island needs a platform and two people.
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cooker hood and grease filters | £45 | 45 min | Mesh and baffle filters degreased in the tank, canopy stripped by hand — the fastest fire-risk reduction in a kitchen. |
| Integrated or telescopic hood | £65 | 1–1.5 hrs | The unit has to be unclipped from the cabinetry before the housing behind it can be reached. |
| Island or chimney extractor | £85 | 1.5 hrs | Worked at height from a platform with the hob protected underneath, and the chimney section removed to reach the motor. |
| Bathroom or utility inline fan | £40 | 30–45 min | Grille, impeller and the first run of duct cleared of the lint that causes condensation complaints in London flats. |
| Commercial kitchen canopy (per metre) | £90 | 2 hrs+ | Cleaned to TR19 grease standard with before-and-after photographs for your insurer and EHO file. |

Old Street EC1V at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Old Street — the numbers that actually change a extractor fan cleaning quote.
Old Street EC1V is post-war and social-housing-led: 98% of homes here are flats and 2% are houses, across 4,949 households (ONS Census 2021).
The social-housing-led mix here (19% owned, 28% privately rented) means a EC1V diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in EC1V, often with surface conduit, and with 28% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, so the fixing that matters in Old Street is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Old Street stock goes, measured on the walk in from Old Street (Northern, Great Northern) rather than assumed from a map.
Old Street sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — the roundabout, tech offices and warehouse conversions on the City fringe — which is why a EC1V quote is not a Islington average.
On access, red-route roundabout with no kerbside loading, goods-lift booking in the towers and gated estate yards — one reason one technician for domestic hoods and bathroom fans; two for island canopies and any commercial kitchen. Fitters travelling in use Old Street (Northern, Great Northern).
