Extract fan cleaning in Compton, done properly
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we will tell you and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. If you have grease escaping from the fan outlet and burning smells from the fan area, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, 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.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

Different parts, different methods
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Wall fans
Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
When to call us in Compton
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
For schools such as South Farnham School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Kitchen extracts in Compton
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 22 pubs, bars and clubs and about 4 hotels and B&Bs within about 1.5 miles of central Compton. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Environmental health officers from Guildford council inspect food businesses in Compton. 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. The fire and rescue service for Compton is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Farnham Castle is about 1.8 miles west), access may need planning. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Marys Parish Church, or anywhere in Compton, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. In a small place like Compton, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Why deal with it now?
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen can’t cook safely. Many fan problems start with grease, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. In a small place like Compton, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Compton questions
Will you come out to Compton?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Compton is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which fire service covers Compton?
Compton is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
A clean won’t mend wear. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
With the fan isolated, the extract is not running. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
A common cause is grease. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures of the fan. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
How we price extract fan cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The site address and the type of premises
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
