What your team can do, and what needs us

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.

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Great Burgh

Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? Tell us about it when you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will give you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Great Burgh, normally within one working day. The work covers centrifugal fans, axial fans and in-line fans, and people most often call us about less air being pulled from the kitchen and a fan coated in grease inside its housing.

In a smaller place like Great Burgh, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.

Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Why it’s worth doing now in Great Burgh

A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.

Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

What you get with us

  • Trading since 2009
  • We are fully insured
  • Every job surveyed first
  • Fixed quotes, normally within one working day

Managing agents and facilities teams in Great Burgh

When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.

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 on a regular cycle.

How we price extract fan cleaning

Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:

  • How easy every part is to reach
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle
  • What state the system is in
  • How many systems or sites are involved

The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Helping us quote

Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:

  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
  • Your last certificate, test record or report
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

What the work involves, part by part

Wall fans

Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.

Impellers and blades

Coated blades move less air. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Great Burgh, so let us know how to reach it.

  1. We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
  2. We isolate the power before opening the housing.
  3. Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
  4. The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
  5. We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
  • Move anything stored near the system
  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Extract fan cleaning around Great Burgh

The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 11 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Great Burgh. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. The fire and rescue service for Great Burgh 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. Environmental health officers from Reigate and Banstead council inspect food businesses in Great Burgh. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

For kitchens close to Tattenham Corner station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. For schools such as Shawley Community Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Epsom General Hospital (about 1.9 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

When something else is needed

An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:

  • A motor that has burnt out
  • A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
  • A faulty speed controller or isolator

Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Where we work

  • In-line fans
  • Roof-mounted fans
  • Discharge points
  • Centrifugal fans
  • Axial fans
  • Fan housings

Great Burgh: your questions answered

Will you come out to Great Burgh?

Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Great Burgh is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.

Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Great Burgh?

Great Burgh is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.

What is TR19?

TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.

Why is my extract fan noisy?

Often it’s grease on the impeller. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.

What about areas you can’t get to?

We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.

Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?

Yes, we can clean just the fan. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

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.

How much notice should we give?

The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
