Extract Fan Cleaning in Brookwood
For extract fan cleaning in Brookwood, one call is all it takes, from survey to sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- An extract fan with no cleaning record

- A fan that no longer moves enough air
Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
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.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Brookwood
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan, and that is what we clean. The work covers axial fans, discharge points and roof-mounted fans, and common reasons people get in touch are thick grease on the impeller and casing and a smell of hot grease from the extract.
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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Brookwood kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 17 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 11 takeaways in Brookwood and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Food hygiene inspections in Brookwood are the job of Woking council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Brookwood. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Brookwood Primary School or anywhere near Brookwood, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run a café or takeaway near Brookwood station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

The process
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Brookwood.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

Why it’s worth doing now in Brookwood
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller doesn’t stay small. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure and a kitchen cannot cook safely without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Brookwood is calmer for everyone.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Brookwood
A greasy fan in Brookwood is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
Where a hall near Saint Saviour's Church, or anywhere in Brookwood, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
