Extract fan cleaning in Dora's Green, done properly
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. Typical jobs include fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and weak extraction at the canopy, on discharge points, fan housings and centrifugal fans.
In a small place like Dora's Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Common problems we fix in Dora's Green
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. The difference throws the impeller off balance and puts strain on the bearings. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Dora's Green (Farnham Castle is about 1.7 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.

How we price extract fan cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The condition of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any previous report or certificate
Need a price for extract fan cleaning? Please ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What happens if it’s left?
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller does not stay small. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Dora's Green.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
