How we handle extract fan cleaning in Ewhurst
Not all extract fans are the same: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. We’re often asked to deal with less air being pulled from the kitchen and grease escaping from the fan outlet, across centrifugal fans, in-line fans and axial fans.
In a village or hamlet like Ewhurst, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
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. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Ewhurst knowing what to expect.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Get a fixed quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Part by part
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so the method is planned in advance. If it can’t be reached fully, the report says so.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Long cooking hours mean more grease reaches the fan. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
How we price extract fan cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
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 the price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What a clean won’t put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A motor that has burnt out
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Questions from Ewhurst
Do you work at weekends in Ewhurst?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Ewhurst can fit around your hours. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Which environmental health team covers Ewhurst?
The local authority for Ewhurst is Waverley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, where it makes sense. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
A clean will not mend wear. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum, under BESA guidance. Heavy use means at least every 3 months, light use at least every 12, fan included.

Common problems we fix in Ewhurst
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. When filters don’t seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Ewhurst, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ewhurst
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. Somewhere as small as Ewhurst, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
