Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Churt
Any fan serving a kitchen in Churt is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. The work covers centrifugal fans, in-line fans and roof-mounted fans, and people most often call us about less air being pulled from the kitchen and thick grease on the impeller and casing.
In a small place like Churt, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Churt and across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Keep the route to the fan clear. 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 else we do in Churt
Why it’s worth doing now in Churt
A fan that sounds rough in Churt is often telling you the extract needs a clean. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it, so it’s worth checking the whole system. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Why book with us
- A written report with photos after each visit
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Every job surveyed first

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Churt
Look up Churt on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Churt and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Food hygiene inspections in Churt are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Churt falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
School kitchens, at schools like St John's CofE Aided Infant School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Chase Community Hospital (about 4.2 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

How we price extract fan cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
What we do, step by step
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 a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. For a village or hamlet like Churt, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- Damaged fan blades
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on in Churt
- Axial fans
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
- Fan housings
Common problems we fix in Churt
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. The difference throws the impeller off balance, wearing bearings and mounts. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A heavily greased fan housing
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Churt, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they carry
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether VAT is included
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
