Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Grayswood
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan, and that’s what we clean. The work covers fan housings, roof-mounted fans and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are grease escaping from the fan outlet and a fan that no longer moves enough air.
Work in a small place like Grayswood starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What happens if it’s left?
For a kitchen in Grayswood, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. If the fan is coated, the duct before it typically is too so a full TR19 clean may be due. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Grease, kitchens and Grayswood
Food Standards Agency data counts about 16 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Grayswood. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Kitchens in Grayswood get their food hygiene inspections from Waverley council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Grayswood is 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near All Saints' Church or anywhere around Grayswood, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Grayswood Church of England (Aided) Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What else we do in Grayswood
How it works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. The timing of a visit to Grayswood is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Grayswood questions
Will you come out to Grayswood?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Grayswood is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Grayswood?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Grayswood. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
A common cause is grease. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning doesn’t, the bearings or motor may need attention.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
We also repair and replace extract fans. If cleaning shows a worn motor, bearings or impeller, we will tell you and quote for the repair.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes, and that is how we prefer to work. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Common problems we fix in Grayswood
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing where the spinning blades spread it around.
What we are most often called out for:
- Burning smells from the fan area
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Grayswood is Haslemere and District Hospital, about 1.2 miles south-west.

- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Part by part
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. We clean it along with the blades.
