About our extract fan cleaning in Birtley Green
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. A thorough clean removes the cause. If you have an extract fan with no cleaning record and a noisy fan that has got louder over time, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Why it’s worth doing now in Birtley Green
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. It’s simpler to plan the work at Birtley Green now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

How the visit 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, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Somewhere like Birtley Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Birtley Green
There are about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Birtley Green, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Environmental health officers from Waverley council inspect food businesses in Birtley Green. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Birtley Green. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Historic houses near Birtley Green, such as Chilworth Manor about 2.9 miles north, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Birtley Green?
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A heavily greased fan housing
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
Church and community hall kitchens, near Christ Church or anywhere around Birtley Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
