Extract fan cleaning in Capel
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? Tell us about it when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Capel, normally within one working day. Typical jobs include grease escaping from the fan outlet and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, on axial fans, discharge points and roof-mounted 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.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Check filters are seated before cooking
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Make sure the fan is reachable. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
Extract fan cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It does not solve:
- Damaged fan blades
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- A motor that has burnt out
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two for most single fans. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Capel knowing what to expect.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Related advice
Different parts, different methods
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
Extract fan cleaning in Capel: the local picture
Fire safety in Capel 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. Food hygiene inspections in Capel are the job of Mole Valley 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St John the Baptist or anywhere around Capel, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you run a café or takeaway near Ockley station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Scott Broadwood CofE Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Capel is about 5 miles south of Dorking, in Surrey.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What affects the quote in Capel
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How easy every part is to reach
- Parking and loading at the site
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Capel: your questions answered
Will you come out to Capel?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Capel?
In Capel, it’s Mole Valley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
You get a photo report with before and after photos of the fan. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
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 is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
