Extract fan cleaning in Grayshott, Surrey
Our technicians work in Grayshott on cleaning of kitchen extract fans, impellers, fan housings and discharge points. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures as standard.
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan shaking on its mounts
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Grayshott
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract fans since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. The work covers fan housings, centrifugal fans and roof-mounted fans, and people most often call us about a fan that has never been cleaned and a motor area thick with grease.
For a smaller kitchen near Grayshott, 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.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Grayshott
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.

What we are called out for in Grayshott
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. When filters don’t seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Rough running from the extract fan
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Luke, or anywhere in Grayshott, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What your quote should include
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What records you will receive afterwards
- What hours they’ll be on site
Questions from Grayshott
Who is the fire and rescue service for Grayshott?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Grayshott. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Grayshott?
That’s East Hampshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Grayshott. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. Anything that can’t be reached is recorded, so you always know what was cleaned.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Do you cover Grayshott?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Grayshott.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
It has to be off and isolated, for safety. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking is not affected.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
File the photo report with your other extract records. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, 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.
What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan cleaning, clear away and leave you the report.
