What extract fan cleaning looks like in Fernhurst
There are about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Fernhurst, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Fernhurst. 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. The fire and rescue service for Fernhurst is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of St Margaret or elsewhere in Fernhurst, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Fernhurst Primary School or anywhere near Fernhurst, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Extract fan cleaning in Fernhurst
We have been trading since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. We are often asked to deal with a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, across roof-mounted fans, axial fans and centrifugal fans.
In a village or hamlet like Fernhurst, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
What affects the quote in Fernhurst
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The condition of the system
- The scale of the work
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The number of sites or systems
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

Leave it or put it right?
The fan is part of the fire path. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Fernhurst rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

How the job changes from site to site
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. We clean them where they can be safely reached, and anything we cannot reach is recorded.
The process
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Fernhurst run smoothly.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Fernhurst?
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 where the spinning blades spread it around.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A motor area thick with grease
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Haslemere and District Hospital about 2.9 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Fernhurst
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Fernhurst?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Fernhurst. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can a school canteen extract in Fernhurst be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Fernhurst. You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
A clean will not mend wear. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
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.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
Can one contract cover all our 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.
