How we handle extract fan cleaning in Church Town
A clean fan isn’t a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You’ll know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. We’re often asked to deal with less air being pulled from the kitchen and grease stains around the discharge, across in-line fans, discharge points and axial fans.
Somewhere as small as Church Town, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’ll tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- An impeller that’s bent or split
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Church Town questions
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Church Town?
Church Town is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Church Town?
That is Tandridge council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Church Town. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
Every clean has a photo report, with anything we noticed. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
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.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
With the fan isolated, the extract isn’t running. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The size of the system
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Why deal with it now?
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. In a small place like Church Town, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Church Town
Food Standards Agency data counts about 9 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Church Town, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Environmental health officers from Tandridge council inspect food businesses in Church Town. 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 Town sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Church Town, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Titsey Place, about 3.8 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Church Town; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Church Town is about 3 miles south-east of Caterham, in Surrey. Every kind of commercial site in Church Town, extract fan cleaning is something we can help with.

What’s near Church Town
Around Church Town, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Bay Pond and Antique Shop The Godstone Hotel and the streets around them. The closest station to Church Town is Godstone station, roughly 2 miles south. Nearby you will also find Bletchingley Castle (2.3 miles west) and East Surrey Museum (2.6 miles north). Not far away are Bay Pond and Mercers Lake.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Part by part
Impellers and blades
The blades of the impeller do the work, and grease builds up on them unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. For a village or hamlet like Church Town, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Church Town?
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. When filters do not seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Burning smells from the fan area
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Godstone Village School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
