How it works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Hammer Bottom.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- 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.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Advice
About our extract fan cleaning in Hammer Bottom
We have been trading since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. Common call-outs are for an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and rough running from the extract fan, across discharge points, axial fans and roof-mounted fans.
Somewhere as small as Hammer Bottom, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Common questions in Hammer Bottom
Can a school canteen extract in Hammer Bottom be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 6 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Hammer Bottom. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Hammer Bottom?
Hammer Bottom is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do we need to close while you work?
Usually not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Hammer Bottom
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Burning smells from the fan area
School kitchens, at schools like Woolmer Hill School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Questions to ask before booking
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Proof of insurance
Why deal with it now?
A fan that sounds rough in Hammer Bottom is often telling you the extract needs a clean. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it so a full TR19 clean may be due. It’s simpler to plan the work at Hammer Bottom now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

What the work involves, part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Regular cleans help it keep going.
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.
Kitchen extracts in Hammer Bottom
Look up Hammer Bottom on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 8 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 6 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hammer Bottom. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Environmental health officers from Waverley council inspect food businesses in Hammer Bottom. 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. The fire and rescue service for Hammer Bottom 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.
Where a hall near The Parish Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Hammer Bottom, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Hammer Bottom is Haslemere and District Hospital, about 2.4 miles east.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Hammer Bottom
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Hammer Bottom and across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
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 whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
