About our extract fan cleaning in Hatchford
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: 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 we clean it off. The work covers in-line fans, centrifugal fans and fan housings, and people most often call us about grease stains around the discharge and a fan coated in grease inside its housing.
Somewhere as small as Hatchford, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hatchford
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Hatchford rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Damaged fan blades
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- Wiring faults to the fan
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Visits to a village like Hatchford are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Grease, kitchens and Hatchford
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Hatchford. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. In Hatchford, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Elmbridge council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Hatchford falls to 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.
Historic houses near Hatchford, such as Byfleet Manor about 2.1 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Matthew's CofE Aided Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Woking Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Hatchford, about 5.3 miles west.
Hatchford is about 5 miles south of Weybridge, in Surrey.

How the job changes from site to site
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so the method is planned in advance. Anything out of reach is recorded.
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, with any limits noted.
Questions from Hatchford
Can you work in Hatchford outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Hatchford keeps running as normal. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Hatchford?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Hatchford. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What affects the quote in Hatchford
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- What state the system is in
- Parking and loading at the site
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
