Surrey · Extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning in Belmont, Surrey
Professional extract fan cleaning in and around Belmont, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with pictures.
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A motor area thick with grease
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
Extract fan cleaning in Belmont, done properly
Not all extract fans are the same: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. If you’re dealing with a fan shaking on its mounts and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Belmont, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

How we price extract fan cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Travel, parking and unloading
- What state the system is in
- Whether several sites go on one quote
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Belmont
Can school kitchens in Belmont be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 10 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Belmont. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Belmont?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Belmont. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning doesn’t, the bearings or motor may need attention.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. If a fan can’t be reached, the report says so, so you always know what was cleaned.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, if the fan needs it. We’ll often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan normally means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. As a guide, it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Belmont kitchens: local notes
There are about 87 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 26 takeaways and sandwich shops in Belmont and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. In Belmont, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Sutton council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Belmont falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St John or anywhere around Belmont, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Avenue Primary Academy or anywhere near Belmont, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or two for most single fans. Everything the job in Belmont needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Belmont
A greasy fan in Belmont is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Look out for any of the following:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
If you run a café or takeaway near Belmont station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Why deal with it now?
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger and the motor works harder. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Belmont at a time that suits you.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
What a clean won’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A fan that will not start
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
