Extract fan cleaning in Hookwood, done properly
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll give you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Hookwood, normally within one working day. If you have a heavily greased fan housing and an extract fan with no cleaning record, we can help, from discharge points, roof-mounted fans and centrifugal fans onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Hookwood, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hookwood
The fan is part of the fire path. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Why Hookwood businesses choose us
- Every job surveyed first
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day

What affects the quote in Hookwood
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
If you need extract fan cleaning in Hookwood, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan cleaning won’t do:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- Wiring faults to the fan
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Discharge points
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and grease builds up on them unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Extract fan cleaning around Hookwood
The FSA’s data shows about 14 pubs, bars and clubs and about 16 hotels and B&Bs registered across Hookwood and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Hookwood. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Environmental health officers from Mole Valley council inspect food businesses in Hookwood. 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Bartholomew or elsewhere in Hookwood, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. School kitchens, at schools like Manorfield Primary and Nursery School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hospital like Langley Green Hospital, about 2.6 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. The timing of a visit to Hookwood is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about parking and loading
