Dunsfold extract fan cleaning
One call covers extract fan cleaning in Dunsfold, from survey to sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.

- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
Part by part
Impellers and blades
The blades of the impeller do the work, and it collects grease unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. We get to them through the duct or casing after isolating them.
Extract fan cleaning in Dunsfold, done properly
Grease on a fan isn’t spread evenly. 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. Common call-outs are for grease stains around the discharge and vibration from an unbalanced impeller, across fan housings, roof-mounted fans and in-line fans.
In a village or hamlet like Dunsfold, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Kitchen extracts in Dunsfold
Fire safety in Dunsfold 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. In Dunsfold, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Waverley council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Milford Hospital about 4.3 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes an hour or two for most single fans, and we clear up before we go. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Dunsfold before we set off.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

What we are called out for in Dunsfold
Grease condenses as the air cools, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. So grease often settles heavily there.
Look out for any of the following:
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A heavily greased fan housing
Where a hall near Church of St Mary and All Saints, or anywhere in Dunsfold, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Questions from Dunsfold
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Dunsfold?
Fire safety enforcement in Dunsfold is handled by 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.
Who inspects food businesses in Dunsfold?
In Dunsfold, it’s Waverley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, we do. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: every 3, 6 or 12 months. Some fans need attention sooner.
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 is a fan clean?
It takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. We will confirm the time when we quote.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
