- A motor area thick with grease
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Extract fan cleaning in Blackbrook, done properly
In Blackbrook, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. If you have an extract fan with no cleaning record and grease escaping from the fan outlet, we can put it right, from centrifugal fans, discharge points and axial fans onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A fan that won’t start
- An impeller that’s bent or split
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- In-line fans

Why act early in Blackbrook
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Extract fan cleaning in Blackbrook: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Blackbrook and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Kitchens in Blackbrook get their food hygiene inspections from Mole Valley council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Blackbrook is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Blackbrook, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Headley Court (about 5.9 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Historic houses near Blackbrook, such as Polesden Lacey about 4.3 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

FAQs for Blackbrook
Can you come to Blackbrook after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Who inspects food businesses in Blackbrook?
Food hygiene inspections in Blackbrook are carried out by Mole Valley council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
We always isolate the fan first, so it cannot start while we work. With the extract off, the kitchen can’t cook, so we work out of hours.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, if the fan needs it. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. If a fan cannot be reached, the report says so, so the record is accurate.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Blackbrook
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
- The times the site is available
- The condition we find in the survey
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. For a village or hamlet like Blackbrook, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Run the extract throughout cooking
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
