Extract fan cleaning in Egham Hythe
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract fans since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. We are often asked to deal with a fan that no longer moves enough air and a motor area thick with grease, across centrifugal fans, discharge points and in-line fans.
For a smaller kitchen near Egham Hythe, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How big the system is
- What state the system is in
- The times the site is available
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Questions from Egham Hythe
Which fire service covers Egham Hythe?
Egham Hythe is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can a school canteen extract in Egham Hythe be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 19 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Egham Hythe. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How long is a fan clean?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. Typically it takes an hour or two for most single fans.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- File the fan’s report with your other records
When we have finished, the fan is reassembled and run. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.

What else we do in Egham Hythe
What we’re called out for in Egham Hythe
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. So grease often settles heavily there.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A motor area thick with grease
Botleys Mansion, about 3.5 miles south, is one of the historic houses near Egham Hythe; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
What your quote should include
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether the figure could change on the day

Extract fan cleaning in Egham Hythe: the local picture
Look up Egham Hythe on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 133 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 31 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Egham Hythe. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Fire safety in Egham Hythe falls to 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. Food hygiene inspections in Egham Hythe are the job of Runnymede council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
For schools such as Thorpe Lea Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Paul's Church or elsewhere in Egham Hythe, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes an hour or two for most single fans. A site near Egham Hythe normally has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- 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.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Move anything stored near the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

How the job changes from site to site
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen cannot afford a fan failure. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Leave it or put it right?
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. A site near Egham Hythe that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
