Extract fan cleaning in Felcourt
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and you will get a fixed price, normally within one working day. The work covers in-line fans, discharge points and fan housings, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan coated in grease inside its housing and less air being pulled from the kitchen.
In a village or hamlet like Felcourt, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Felcourt
The FSA’s data shows about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered in and around Felcourt, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Kitchens in Felcourt get their food hygiene inspections from Tandridge council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Felcourt. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Felcourt (Saint Hill Manor is about 3.7 miles south), fitting access panels needs care. For schools such as Bush Davies School of Theatre Arts, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you cook for passing trade around Dormans station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- A fan that will not start
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- Damaged fan blades
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on in Felcourt
- Roof-mounted fans
- In-line fans
- Discharge points
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- Axial fans
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
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.
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.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. The timing of a visit to Felcourt is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Related advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Felcourt
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger, while the motor runs under more strain. It’s simpler to plan the work at Felcourt now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Every site is different, 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.

Part by part
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so the method is planned in advance. If it cannot be reached fully, the report says so.
Questions from Felcourt
Which council inspects kitchens in Felcourt?
Food hygiene inspections in Felcourt are carried out by Tandridge council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you cover smaller places like Felcourt?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Felcourt included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Grease on the blades and housing is one of the usual causes, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Every clean has a photo report, with anything we noticed. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. If a fan can’t be reached, the report says so, so the record is accurate.
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. Every site has its own report.
