How we handle extract fan cleaning in Burntcommon
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found so you get a clean bill of health. Common call-outs are for rough running from the extract fan and thick grease on the impeller and casing, across axial fans, in-line fans and centrifugal fans.
In a village or hamlet like Burntcommon, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Common questions in Burntcommon
Can you get to a site in Burntcommon?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Burntcommon is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which fire authority looks after Burntcommon?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Burntcommon. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we’ll plan the visit around them.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum in BESA guidance. Heavy use means at least every 3 months, light use at least every 12, fan included.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Damaged fan blades
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Burntcommon
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How big the system is
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Part by part
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Long cooking hours mean more grease reaches the fan. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.
The process
We turn up 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 the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Burntcommon.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t 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.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Burntcommon
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A motor area thick with grease
- A fan that has never been cleaned
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St William of York or elsewhere in Burntcommon, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
Extract fan cleaning in Burntcommon: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 10 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 4 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Burntcommon. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Burntcommon is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. 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. In Burntcommon, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Guildford council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Burntcommon (Clandon Park is about 2.4 miles south), fitting access panels needs care.
