Extract fan cleaning across Burpham

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Burpham

Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. The work covers in-line fans, fan housings and discharge points, and people most often call us about a noisy fan that has got louder over time and a fan shaking on its mounts.

Around a smaller place like Burpham, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.

Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What extract fan cleaning can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:

  • A motor that has burnt out
  • Damaged fan blades
  • A dirty duct upstream of the fan

If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Where we work

  • Centrifugal fans
  • Roof-mounted fans
  • Discharge points
  • Axial fans
  • In-line fans
  • Fan housings

What your team can do, and what needs us

Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

How it works

At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Burpham, so let us know how to reach it.

  1. We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
  2. It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
  3. Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
  4. Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
  5. We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking and loading
  • Have your last certificate or report to hand
  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Burpham: your questions answered

Can school kitchens in Burpham be cleaned in the holidays?

Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 15 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Burpham. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.

Do you work overnight in Burpham?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.

What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?

It depends on how many hours the kitchen cooks, under BESA guidance. Heavy use means at least every 3 months, light use at least every 12, fan included.

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.

What is TR19?

A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.

Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?

Yes, it should be. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.

Which accreditations do you hold?

Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Do you have insurance?

Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.

Why it’s worth doing now in Burpham

A fan that sounds rough in Burpham is often telling you the extract needs a clean. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it so a full TR19 clean may be due. A site near Burpham that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.

We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will talk you through it.

For landlords and multi-site operators

For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

Different parts, different methods

Wall fans

A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.

Fan housings and motors

We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so we clean what we safely can.

What affects the quote in Burpham

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:

  • The size of the system
  • The times the site is available
  • The condition we find in the survey
  • Any permits to work or inductions

One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.

Asking for a quote

There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:

  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is

Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Burpham kitchens: local notes

The FSA’s data shows about 9 pubs, bars and clubs registered across Burpham and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Fire safety in Burpham falls to 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. Environmental health officers from Guildford council inspect food businesses in Burpham. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.

Bursars and site managers at schools such as George Abbot School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Clandon Park is about 1.7 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of the Holy Spirit or elsewhere in Burpham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Burpham is about 1 mile north-east of Guildford, in Surrey. Across the GU4 area, we can carry out extract fan cleaning at your premises. Across Surrey, we cover 395 places, Burpham among them.

Work in GU4 and GU1 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Streets in the area include Clay Lane, Wells Road and London Road, all of which we cover for extract fan cleaning. If your site is just outside Burpham, we cover Merrow (1 mile south-east), Jacobs Well (1 mile north-west), Abbotswood (1 mile south-west), Guildford (1 mile south-west) and Bellfields (1 mile west). We also work in nearby towns such as Woking (4 miles north), Camberley (10 miles north-west), Epsom (13 miles north-east), Farnham (11 miles west), Ewell (14 miles north-east) and Egham (12 miles north).
