Extract fan cleaning in Hersham, Surrey

For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
About our extract fan cleaning in Hersham
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we will tell you, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. The work covers fan housings, roof-mounted fans and discharge points, and people most often call us about grease around the motor and its mounts and hot, greasy smells near the fan.
Around a smaller place like Hersham, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures 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.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Make sure the fan is included each time
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Hersham?
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
School kitchens, at schools like Bell Farm Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What else we do in Hersham
Kitchen extracts in Hersham
Food Standards Agency records include about 14 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hersham. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Hersham. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Food hygiene inspections in Hersham are the job of Elmbridge council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Commuter trade near Walton-On-Thames station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. Where a hall near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Hersham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Leave it or put it right?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. A site near Hersham that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
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 give you a fixed price before work begins.

What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Hersham, so let us know how to reach it.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Hersham
Can a school canteen extract in Hersham be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Hersham, the Food Standards Agency lists about 7 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Who inspects food businesses in Hersham?
Kitchens in Hersham are inspected by Elmbridge council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
A clean won’t mend wear. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we’ll book around them.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
It has to be off and isolated before anyone touches it. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking isn’t affected.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.

Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
