What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- How big the system is
- Any permits to work or inductions
- What state the system is in
- Parking and loading at the site
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:

How we handle extract fan cleaning in Ashford
If the extract fan in Ashford has become noisy, weak or greasy? A few details or a photo help when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and you’ll get a fixed price, normally within one working day. The work covers in-line fans, fan housings and roof-mounted fans, and common reasons people get in touch are hot, greasy smells near the fan and a motor area thick with grease.
Most kitchens in a town like Ashford can’t close for a day, so the work is done after service, overnight or on a closed day. The kitchen is handed back clean and ready to cook.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Grease, kitchens and Ashford
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 8 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Ashford and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Ashford is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Environmental health officers from Spelthorne council inspect food businesses in Ashford. 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Ashford Hospital (about 0.7 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Commuter trade near Ashford Surrey station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Work in Ashford is usually booked after closing, early in the morning or on a closed day.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it can’t 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.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Questions from Ashford
Who is the fire and rescue service for Ashford?
Ashford is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Which environmental health team covers Ashford?
That’s Spelthorne council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Ashford. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
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.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it cannot run during the clean. With the extract off, the kitchen cannot cook, so we work out of hours.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Ashford?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before we start.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
When to call us in Ashford
A greasy fan in Ashford is fuel at the end of the duct. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Spelthorne College, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What’s included in the scope, part by part

What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Wiring faults to the fan
- Damaged fan blades
- A fan that will not start
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on in Ashford
- In-line fans
- Axial fans
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Discharge points
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
When we have finished, the fan is reassembled and run. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and blades
Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.
