Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Abbotswood
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. Each is isolated and opened in its own way, and we plan that during the survey. Typical jobs include an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and weak extraction at the canopy, on axial fans, fan housings and roof-mounted fans.
In a smaller place like Abbotswood, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Visits to a place like Abbotswood are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- 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.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
Also near Abbotswood
Also in Abbotswood
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Abbotswood?
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Burning smells from the fan area
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
If you run a café or takeaway near London Road (Guildford) station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
Questions to ask before you book
- What’s included in the scope, part by part

Kitchen extracts in Abbotswood
Look up Abbotswood on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 154 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 43 takeaways and sandwich shops in Abbotswood and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Kitchens in Abbotswood get their food hygiene inspections from Guildford council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Abbotswood is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Lanesborough School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St. Luke’s Hospital (about under half a mile south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Why it’s worth doing now in Abbotswood
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Booking now means the visit to Abbotswood is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Different parts, different methods
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them, so the outlet area is checked too. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
