Extract fan cleaning in Boundstone, done properly
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. A thorough clean removes the cause. Typical jobs include a smell of hot grease from the extract and weak extraction at the canopy, across discharge points, fan housings and roof-mounted fans.
In a smaller place like Boundstone, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Boundstone: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Boundstone?
Yes, Boundstone is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Boundstone?
Fire safety enforcement in Boundstone is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
What staff can safely do
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.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Boundstone
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The scale of the work
- The condition of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Why deal with it now?
Cleaning the fan in Boundstone now is a short job: it takes an hour or two for most single fans. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. When a site near Boundstone shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Why us?
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Boundstone
Food Standards Agency data counts about 12 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Boundstone. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. The fire and rescue service for Boundstone is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Boundstone, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Waverley council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Historic houses near Boundstone, such as Farnham Castle about 2 miles north, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Timothy or elsewhere in Boundstone, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What we’re called out for in Boundstone
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. The difference throws the impeller off balance and puts strain on the bearings. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Grease stains around the discharge
Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Peter's CofE Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Before booking anyone

How it works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes an hour or two for most single fans, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. In a place like Boundstone, we fit the visit around your hours.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- 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.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
