Extract fan cleaning in Friday Street, done properly
In Friday Street, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. If you’re dealing with a fan that has never been cleaned and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, we can put it right, from fan housings, axial fans and centrifugal fans onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Friday Street, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Friday Street
Friday Street is about 24 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Kitchens in Friday Street get their food hygiene inspections from Mole Valley council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
School kitchens, at schools like Belmont Prep School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St James or elsewhere in Friday Street, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Friday Street is about 3 miles south-west of Dorking, in Surrey. Across the RH5 area, we cover extract fan cleaning for commercial sites. We cover 395 places across Surrey, from busy centres to quieter spots. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 9 miles away.
Work in RH5 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. If you need extract fan cleaning at premises on Sheephouse Lane, Noons Corner Road and Abinger Common Road or a nearby road, our technicians can take on the work. We also cover the places around Friday Street: Abinger Bottom (1 mile south), Abinger Common (1 mile west), Coldharbour (2 miles south-east), Forest Green (3 miles south) and South Holmwood (3 miles east).

Open spaces near Friday Street include Vann Lake and Combe Bottom.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Friday Street
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Friday Street and across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
If the fan needs more than a clean, we will say so plainly. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
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 we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which 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 Friday Street run smoothly.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice
Questions from Friday Street
Which council inspects kitchens in Friday Street?
Kitchens in Friday Street are inspected by Mole Valley council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you work overnight in Friday Street?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Friday Street does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen cannot cook while we work. That is why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
Before and after photos go into a report, with anything we noticed. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
One easily reached fan is quick, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Honest limits
Extract fan cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- Axial fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans
- In-line fans
- Discharge points
Part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them, so the outlet area is checked too. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
When to call us in Friday Street
How fast a fan gets greasy in Friday Street depends on the cooking: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Polesden Lacey is about 4.2 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
