How we handle extract fan cleaning in Batt's Corner
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. The way in depends on the type, and we plan that during the survey. The work covers centrifugal fans, fan housings and axial fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a noisy fan that has got louder over time and a heavily greased fan housing.
In a village or hamlet like Batt's Corner, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

How it works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Batt's Corner and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Batt's Corner
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
When we have finished, the fan is reassembled and run. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
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.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Batt's Corner
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Batt's Corner?
Kitchens in Batt's Corner are inspected by Waverley council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Batt's Corner?
Batt's Corner is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
A common cause is grease. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
Before and after photos go into a report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Part by part
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.

Leave it or put it right?
A fan that sounds rough in Batt's Corner is often telling you the extract needs a clean. If the fan is coated, the duct before it normally is too so a full TR19 clean may be due. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Batt's Corner is calmer for everyone.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

What we are called out for in Batt's Corner
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Batt's Corner as anywhere. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Rough running from the extract fan
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Church Of The Good Shepherd or elsewhere in Batt's Corner, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
