How we handle extract fan cleaning in Holmwood Corner
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. A thorough clean removes the cause. The work covers axial fans, fan housings and centrifugal fans, and the jobs we see most are a noisy fan that has got louder over time and grease stains around the discharge.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re 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 staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Common problems we fix in Holmwood Corner
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.

- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A smell of hot grease from the extract

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The number of sites or systems
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition of the system
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Helping us quote

- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site

Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.

Which fire service covers Holmwood Corner?
Fire safety enforcement in Holmwood Corner is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
Cleaning removes grease, but it cannot fix worn parts. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.

Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Holmwood Corner before we set off.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
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.
Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
