How the visit works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Brockham knowing what to expect.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Move anything stored near the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Extract fan cleaning in Brockham
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. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. We’re often asked to deal with a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and a smell of hot grease from the extract, across axial fans, discharge points and centrifugal fans.
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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, 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 ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Kitchen extracts in Brockham
Food Standards Agency records list about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Brockham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Food hygiene inspections in Brockham are the job of Mole Valley council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Brockham. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Where a hall near Christ Church, or anywhere in Brockham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Polesden Lacey is about 4.2 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Part by part
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: chips, distortion or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them and we check the area around the outlet. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Brockham
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Brockham?
A fan in Brockham builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan left out of previous cleans
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Headley Court about 3.9 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Keep records of every fan clean
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.
Leave it or put it right?
Cleaning the fan in Brockham now is a short job: the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. A planned visit to Brockham is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Brockham questions
Can you work in Brockham outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Brockham?
That is Mole Valley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Brockham. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. File it with your other extract records.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. If a fan can’t be reached, the report says so, so you always know what was cleaned.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning does not, the bearings or motor may need attention.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
Cleaning removes grease, but it cannot fix worn parts. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
