Extract fan cleaning in Deepcut, done properly
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. The work covers discharge points, axial fans and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and a heavily greased fan housing.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Deepcut gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Deepcut kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Deepcut. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Deepcut is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Deepcut get their food hygiene inspections from Surrey Heath council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Sandringham Infant & Nursery School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Frimley Park Hospital about 1.9 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. In a smaller place like Deepcut, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Managing agents and facilities teams in Deepcut
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Deepcut: your questions answered
Can you come to Deepcut after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Deepcut keeps running as normal. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can a school canteen extract in Deepcut be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Deepcut, the Food Standards Agency lists about 8 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
It has to be off and isolated, for safety. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking is not affected.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
A single accessible fan does not take long, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. If a fan cannot be reached, the report says so, so you always know what was cleaned.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Report rattles or humming early
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
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.
How we price extract fan cleaning
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- The size of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Leave it or put it right?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger and the motor works harder. Around Deepcut, a kitchen or building out of action is missed straight away.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
