In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
About our extract fan cleaning in Haslemere
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look so you get a clean bill of health. The work covers roof-mounted fans, fan housings and centrifugal fans, and the jobs we see most are thick grease on the impeller and casing and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease.
Around a smaller place like Haslemere, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
A written report with pictures 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.

Grease on the fan is grease in the system. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Haslemere at a time that suits you.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Leave a clear route to the fan
File the photo report with your other extract records. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
What else we do in Haslemere
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Haslemere, so let us know how to reach it.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area

Advice

What we are most often called out for:
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease

Common questions in Haslemere
Can school kitchens in Haslemere be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 6 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Haslemere. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you work overnight in Haslemere?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Haslemere needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
Do you cover Haslemere?
Yes. We cover Haslemere and the rest of Surrey, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
We always isolate the fan first, so it cannot start while we work. With the extract off, the kitchen can’t cook, so we work out of hours.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
Before and after photos go into a report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
