What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Holmbury St Mary
Any fan serving a kitchen in Holmbury St Mary is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. The result is photographed for your records. We’re often asked to deal with less air being pulled from the kitchen and grease around the motor and its mounts, on roof-mounted fans, centrifugal fans and axial fans.
In a small place like Holmbury St Mary, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How we price extract fan cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Holmbury St Mary
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A motor area thick with grease
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Mary The Virgins Church or elsewhere in Holmbury St Mary, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What your quote should include
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the price is fixed
- When the next visit should be, and why
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Holmbury St Mary.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Advice
Extract fan cleaning in Holmbury St Mary: the local picture
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses in Holmbury St Mary and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Holmbury St Mary is 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. Kitchens in Holmbury St Mary get their food hygiene inspections from Guildford council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Belmont Prep School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Polesden Lacey is about 4.8 miles north), access may need planning.

Why act early in Holmbury St Mary
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. It’s simpler to plan the work at Holmbury St Mary now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
