Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Farley Green
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Farley Green?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Farley Green. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can the work in Farley Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Farley Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
The fan follows the full system’s interval at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, if the fan needs it. We’ll often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan typically means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
With the fan isolated, the extract is not running. That is why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
About our extract fan cleaning in Farley Green
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll give you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Farley Green, usually within one working day. Common call-outs are for a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and a fan coated in grease inside its housing, across fan housings, centrifugal fans and axial fans.
For a kitchen in or near Farley Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Part by part
Fan housings and motors
Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them, so the outlet area is checked too. We note any grease around the fan.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Farley Green.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How many systems or sites are involved
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
Grease, kitchens and Farley Green
At about 27 miles from central London, Farley Green sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Food hygiene inspections in Farley Green are the job of Guildford council’s environmental health team. 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Michael, or anywhere in Farley Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St. Luke’s Hospital is the nearest hospital to Farley Green, about 4.3 miles north-west.

We also cover Peaslake (2 miles east), Holmbury St Mary (3 miles east), Pitland Street (3 miles east), Ewhurst (4 miles south-east) and Cranleigh (4 miles south).

Around Farley Green

Farley Green’s nearest station is Chilworth station, roughly 2.3 miles north-west of the centre.

When to call us in Farley Green
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
Historic houses near Farley Green, such as Chilworth Manor about 2.7 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
