- A fan left out of previous cleans
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Blindley Heath
Grease on a fan is not spread evenly. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. Common call-outs are for a motor area thick with grease and a smell of hot grease from the extract, on roof-mounted fans, discharge points and centrifugal fans.
In a village or hamlet like Blindley Heath, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

What else we do in Blindley Heath
Grease, kitchens and Blindley Heath
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Blindley Heath. 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. Kitchens in Blindley Heath get their food hygiene inspections from Tandridge council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Clinic about 4.8 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Blindley Heath is about 5 miles north of East Grinstead, in Surrey.

How we price extract fan cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The condition of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether several sites go on one quote
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Keep access to the fan clear
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Axial fans
- Fan housings
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
When to call us in Blindley Heath
A greasy fan in Blindley Heath is fuel at the end of the duct. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan left out of previous cleans
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St John the Evanglist or anywhere around Blindley Heath, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Blindley Heath: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Blindley Heath?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Blindley Heath can fit around your hours. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Blindley Heath?
Food hygiene inspections in Blindley Heath are carried out by Tandridge council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before work begins.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. If a fan cannot be reached, the report says so, so the record is accurate.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. As a guide, it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Why act early in Blindley Heath
A fan that sounds rough in Blindley Heath is often telling you the extract needs a clean. If the fan is coated, the duct before it typically is too, so it’s worth checking the whole system. With notice, the visit to Blindley Heath can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Blindley Heath.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- 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 parking or loading restrictions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
