Bowlhead Green extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning for Bowlhead Green and the surrounding area: a survey, a fixed price, careful work and proper paperwork. Call for a fixed quote.
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan shaking on its mounts
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Visits to a village like Bowlhead Green are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bowlhead Green
Not all extract fans are the same: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. The way in depends on the type, and we plan that during the survey. We are often asked to deal with grease escaping from the fan outlet and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease, on in-line fans, axial fans and centrifugal fans.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Grease, kitchens and Bowlhead Green
Bowlhead Green is about 36 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Bowlhead Green. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Michael and All Angels or anywhere around Bowlhead Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Haslemere and District Hospital about 3.2 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Bowlhead Green
Can you get to a site in Bowlhead Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Bowlhead Green included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Bowlhead Green?
The local authority for Bowlhead Green is Waverley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
With the fan isolated, the extract is not running. That is why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we’ll book around them.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What affects the quote in Bowlhead Green
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
- What state the system is in
- The times the site is available
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The postcode and the type of business
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- An impeller that is bent or split
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on in Bowlhead Green
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- Axial fans
How the job changes from site to site
Fan housings and motors
Motors and their electrics are kept dry and treated with care, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so we clean what we safely can.
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something 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 will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Bowlhead Green
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
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.
Why act early in Bowlhead Green
A fan that sounds rough in Bowlhead Green is often telling you the extract needs a clean. If the fan is coated, the duct before it usually is too, so it’s worth checking the whole system. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
