How we handle extract fan cleaning in Banstead
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we will tell you, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You’ll know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. The work covers in-line fans, fan housings and roof-mounted fans, and people most often call us about a fan that hums, whines or rumbles and a fan that has never been cleaned.
For a smaller kitchen near Banstead, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Keep records of every fan clean
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
What happens on the day
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. The visit itself takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Everything the job in Banstead needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Kitchen extracts in Banstead
There are about 38 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 11 sandwich bars and takeaways across Banstead and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. It’s Reigate and Banstead council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Banstead. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Banstead is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Banstead is Banstead Hospital, about 0.9 miles north-east. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Banstead, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
What happens if it’s left?
A fan clean in Banstead doesn’t take long: it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Waiting adds vibration, wear and a harder clean. Booking now means the visit to Banstead is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Banstead as anywhere. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.

- Grease stains around the discharge
- An extract fan with no cleaning record

- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
Commuter trade near Banstead station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

Banstead questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Banstead?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Banstead. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can the work in Banstead be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Banstead needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
Allow an hour or two for most single fans. We will confirm the time when we quote.
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 many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them and we check the area around the outlet. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
