How we handle extract fan cleaning in Great Bookham
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. The work covers fan housings, axial fans and discharge points, and people most often call us about a fan that has never been cleaned and burning smells from the fan area.
For a smaller kitchen near Great Bookham, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

What else we do in Great Bookham
Extract fan cleaning around Great Bookham
Look up Great Bookham on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 11 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 8 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Great Bookham. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. In Great Bookham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Mole Valley council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Great Bookham is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Headley Court (about 4.1 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. For schools such as The Dawnay School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork.

- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
For a kitchen in Great Bookham, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. If the fan is coated, the duct before it usually is too so a full TR19 clean may be due. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Report grease escaping from the fan
You get before and after photos of the impeller and housing. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
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.
Great Bookham: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Great Bookham?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Great Bookham. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work at weekends in Great Bookham?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Great Bookham keeps running as normal. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
A common cause is grease. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
It takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Your quote will give an idea.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Great Bookham?
A fan in Great Bookham builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: 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.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A fan shaking on its mounts
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Nicolas or elsewhere in Great Bookham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Before you book anyone

- What insurance they carry
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them

How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: cracks, bent blades or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
Fan housings and motors
Motors and their electrics are kept dry and treated with care, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so we clean what we safely can.
