What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How big the system is
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Hoe
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and you will get a fixed price, typically within one working day. If you have a fan that has never been cleaned and a fan shaking on its mounts, we can help.
Work in a small place like Hoe starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What else we do in Hoe
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
When to call us in Hoe
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A fan that has never been cleaned
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mark, or anywhere in Hoe, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What your quote should include
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What insurance they carry
- Whether they recommend a next date
- How VAT is shown on the quote
Hoe questions
Can school kitchens in Hoe be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Hoe, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Can you come to Hoe after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. Anything that cannot be reached is recorded, so the record is accurate.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Why act early in Hoe
The fan is part of the fire path. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Somewhere as small as Hoe, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.

How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. In a small place like Hoe, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

Grease, kitchens and Hoe
Look up Hoe on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Hoe, up to about a mile and a half out. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. In Hoe, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Guildford council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Hoe is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
A hospital like St. Luke’s Hospital, about 5.6 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Hatchlands Park is about 4 miles north), access may need planning.

How the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Long cooking hours mean more grease reaches the fan. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
