How we handle extract fan cleaning in Dormansland
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. The work covers axial fans, centrifugal fans and in-line fans, and people most often call us about grease around the motor and its mounts and less air being pulled from the kitchen.
Somewhere as small as Dormansland, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What affects the quote in Dormansland
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The scale of the work
- How many systems or sites are involved
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
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 pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Common problems we fix in Dormansland
A fan in Dormansland builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
A kitchen near Dormans station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Questions from Dormansland
Is Dormansland within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Dormansland included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Dormansland during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Dormansland. You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
We always isolate the fan first, so it cannot run during the clean. With the extract off, the kitchen cannot cook, so we work out of hours.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. As a guide, it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.

The process
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Dormansland before we set off.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
A fan that sounds rough in Dormansland 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 can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Grease, kitchens and Dormansland
The FSA’s data shows about 5 pubs and bars registered across Dormansland and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Dormansland is 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. It’s Tandridge council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Dormansland. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Dormansland, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. A hospital like Queen Victoria Hospital, about 1.9 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Different parts, different methods
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
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.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
