Extract fan cleaning in Farncombe
In Farncombe, 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. Typical jobs include thick grease on the impeller and casing and grease stains around the discharge, across discharge points, axial fans and centrifugal fans.
For a smaller kitchen near Farncombe, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Extract fan cleaning in Farncombe: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 15 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Farncombe. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Fire safety in Farncombe falls to 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 Farncombe are the job of Waverley council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Milford Hospital is the nearest hospital to Farncombe, about 2.2 miles south. Where a hall near St John the Evangelist Church, or anywhere in Farncombe, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you cook for passing trade around Farncombe station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Part by part
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Farncombe can usually be finished without a second trip.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Related advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
How we price extract fan cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Parking and loading at the site
- A single visit or a regular plan
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
What happens if it’s left?
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen cannot cook safely. Many fan problems start with grease, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. A planned visit to Farncombe fits your hours; an emergency doesn’t.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What you get with us
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- In business since 2009
- A written report with photos after each visit
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Keep access to the fan clear
File the photo report with your other extract records. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
Common questions in Farncombe
Who inspects food businesses in Farncombe?
That’s Waverley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Farncombe. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you cover smaller places like Farncombe?
Yes. Farncombe is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
Cleaning removes grease, but it cannot fix worn parts. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes, and that’s how we prefer to work. The visit is timed for when the area isn’t in use, whether that’s late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
