How we handle extract fan cleaning in Bletchingley
A clean fan is not a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. The work covers discharge points, axial fans and roof-mounted fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and an extract fan with no cleaning record.
Work in a small place like Bletchingley starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
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.

The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Fire safety in Bletchingley 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.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Bletchingley
Can the work in Bletchingley be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Bletchingley keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Is Bletchingley within the area you cover?
Yes, Bletchingley is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Before and after photos go into a report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Bletchingley
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The number of sites or systems
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What we are called out for in Bletchingley
Grease condenses as the air cools, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. So grease often settles heavily there.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Rough running from the extract fan
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Bletchingley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Leave it or put it right?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. With notice, the visit to Bletchingley can be fitted around your bookings and events.

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
When we have finished, the fan is reassembled and run. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Keep the route to the fan clear. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
