Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Chertsey
Any fan serving a kitchen in Chertsey is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. The work covers centrifugal fans, fan housings and roof-mounted fans, and the jobs we see most are a fan shaking on its mounts and burning smells from the fan area.
In a smaller place like Chertsey, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, 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.

Different parts, different methods
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing, once they’re isolated.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Extract fan cleaning around Chertsey
The FSA’s data shows about 23 pubs and bars registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Chertsey. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Chertsey. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s Runnymede council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Chertsey. 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Chertsey, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Anne's Catholic Primary School or anywhere near Chertsey, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Chertsey when you book.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear loose items from the work area

Common questions in Chertsey
Can a school canteen extract in Chertsey be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 18 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Chertsey. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you work in Chertsey outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
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.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, we do. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
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.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. Keep it with your maintenance log.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
When to call us in Chertsey
A fan in Chertsey builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
What we are most often called out for:
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Runnymede Hospital is the nearest hospital to Chertsey, about 1 mile south-west.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether a survey comes first
Why it’s worth doing now in Chertsey
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. A quieter site near Chertsey still needs its system looked after.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
