Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hurst Green
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing and we clean it off. Typical jobs include a fan shaking on its mounts and a heavily greased fan housing, across fan housings, roof-mounted fans and discharge points.
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.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Hurst Green before we set off.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Hurst Green
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
For extract fan cleaning in Hurst Green, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
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.
What we are called out for in Hurst Green
A fan in Hurst Green builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
If you run a café or takeaway near Hurst Green station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- What insurance they carry
What a clean won’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Discharge points
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
You get before and after pictures of the impeller and housing. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Kitchen extracts in Hurst Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 12 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hurst Green. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. In Hurst Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tandridge council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Hurst Green sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Hurst Green Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Where a hall near St Agatha's Hall, or anywhere in Hurst Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

FAQs for Hurst Green
Can you come to Hurst Green after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Hurst Green?
Kitchens in Hurst Green are inspected by Tandridge council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, we do. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it can’t run during the clean. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: every 3, 6 or 12 months. A noisy or heavily coated fan may need it sooner.
