One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.

Tell us about it when you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will give you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Farnham, usually within one working day.

Many kitchens in a town like Farnham were fitted into buildings built for something else, which can mean awkward duct routes, long flat runs and not enough access panels. Sections we can’t reach are listed on the report, and access panels can be added.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

FAQs for Farnham
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Farnham in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Farnham, the Food Standards Agency lists about 10 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll fit the work in.
Do you work overnight in Farnham?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Farnham needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. File it with your other extract records.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
A clean will not mend wear. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’ll tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover

What else we do in Farnham
Part by part
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: cracks, bent blades or wear. We note any concerns.
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
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. The visit takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Photos taken on a phone are usually enough for us to plan a job in Farnham and give a fixed quote.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Related advice
What affects the quote in Farnham
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
You get before and after photos of the impeller and housing. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Farnham
Food Standards Agency records include about 20 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in and around Farnham, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In Farnham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Waverley council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Farnham sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Joan of Arc's Church or elsewhere in Farnham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. For kitchens close to Farnham station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. School kitchens, at schools like Farnham College for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
