Extract fan cleaning in Ewshot
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. The work covers axial fans, discharge points and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are a smell of hot grease from the extract and less air being pulled from the kitchen.
Somewhere as small as Ewshot, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Ewshot
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- Damaged fan blades
- A motor that has burnt out
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Extract fan cleaning in Ewshot: the local picture
There are about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 takeaways across Ewshot and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Ewshot sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Food hygiene inspections in Ewshot are the job of Hart council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mary's Church or anywhere around Ewshot, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Nicholas' School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Keep access to the fan clear
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Make sure the fan is reachable. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Ewshot: your questions answered
Can school kitchens in Ewshot be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Ewshot. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Which fire authority looks after Ewshot?
Ewshot is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it can’t start while we work. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
You get a photo report with before and after photos of the fan. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and if it fails outright, our 24/7 emergency line is there.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Why act early in Ewshot
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Ewshot rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.

The process
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere like Ewshot, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system

What we’re called out for in Ewshot
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Fleet Community Hospital about 3.4 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
