Extract fan cleaning in Beacon Hill, Surrey
Our technicians work in Beacon Hill on cleaning of kitchen extract fans, impellers, fan housings and discharge points. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos as standard.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The times the site is available
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How many systems or sites are involved
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
Extract fan cleaning in Beacon Hill, done properly
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we will tell you and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. The work covers fan housings, centrifugal fans and in-line fans, and the jobs we see most are a motor area thick with grease and less air being pulled from the kitchen.
In a small place like Beacon Hill, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Part by part
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: cracks, bent blades or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
Wall fans
Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.

How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. In a small place like Beacon Hill, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Extract fan cleaning in Beacon Hill: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Beacon Hill, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Beacon Hill 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 Waverley council inspect food businesses in Beacon Hill. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Haslemere and District Hospital is the nearest hospital to Beacon Hill, about 3 miles south-east. Where a hall near Church of St Alban, or anywhere in Beacon Hill, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Beacon Hill is about 6 miles south of Farnham, in Surrey. Whatever kind of site you run in Beacon Hill, extract fan cleaning is something we can help with.

What a clean will not put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan cleaning will not do:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- A motor that has burnt out
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover

What we’re called out for in Beacon Hill
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Weak extraction at the canopy
School kitchens, at schools like Beacon Hill Community Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Beacon Hill
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Beacon Hill?
In Beacon Hill, it’s Waverley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can the work in Beacon Hill be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Beacon Hill keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
