Common questions in Enton Green
Which fire service covers Enton Green?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Enton Green. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Enton Green?
Kitchens in Enton Green are inspected by Waverley council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures of the fan. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Extract fan cleaning in Enton Green
In Enton Green, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. If you have an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and a noisy fan that has got louder over time, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
How we price extract fan cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Visits to a village like Enton Green are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen can’t cook safely. Many fan problems start with grease, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. In a small place like Enton Green, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

When to call us in Enton Green
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. When filters do not seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
For schools such as The Chandler CofE Aided Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- If they look at the system before pricing
Part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. We clean them where they can be safely reached, with any limits noted.
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
What else we do in Enton Green
Grease, kitchens and Enton Green
Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Enton Green. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Environmental health officers from Waverley council inspect food businesses in Enton Green. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Enton Green is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of All Saints or anywhere around Enton Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. For kitchens close to Milford (Surrey) station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
