Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Abinger Bottom
Do you cover smaller places like Abinger Bottom?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Abinger Bottom is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can the work in Abinger Bottom be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Abinger Bottom needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Extract fan cleaning in Abinger Bottom, done properly
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. Typical jobs include a fan that no longer moves enough air and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease, on in-line fans, axial fans and discharge points.
For a kitchen in or near Abinger Bottom, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Part by part
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. That is what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface and we check the area around the outlet. We note any grease around the fan.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Abinger Bottom
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.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
Polesden Lacey, about 4.6 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Abinger Bottom; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
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.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A fan that will not start
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Abinger Bottom knowing what to expect.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- 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.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

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, you get a fixed price before work begins.
