- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Rough running from the extract fan
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Report rattles or humming early
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Keep access to the fan clear
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Make sure the fan is reachable. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Horsell
We have been trading since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are often asked to deal with a smell of hot grease from the extract and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles, on discharge points, in-line fans and axial fans.
Around a smaller place like Horsell, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we will tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- An impeller that is bent or split
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- A fan that won’t start
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Horsell: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Horsell?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Horsell. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can the work in Horsell be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Horsell can fit around your hours. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Before and after pictures go into a report, with anything we noticed. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. If a fan cannot be reached, the report says so, so you always know what was cleaned.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Horsell
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 11 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in and around Horsell, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Fire safety in Horsell falls to 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 Horsell get their food hygiene inspections from Woking council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Woking Community Hospital about 1 mile south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Horsell, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Woking High School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

How the job changes from site to site
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing, once they’re isolated.
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes an hour or two for most single fans. A site near Horsell normally has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
