Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Hurtmore
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Hurtmore
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found, before signing it off. The work covers fan housings, discharge points and centrifugal fans, and the jobs we see most are grease escaping from the fan outlet and a fan shaking on its mounts.
In a village or hamlet like Hurtmore, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Hurtmore: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Hurtmore?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which fire service covers Hurtmore?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Hurtmore. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
Allow a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. We will confirm the time when we quote.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Grease on the blades and housing is one of the usual causes, because it unbalances the fan. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A motor that has burnt out
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Axial fans
- Fan housings
- Discharge points
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
Common problems we fix in Hurtmore
A greasy fan in Hurtmore is fuel at the end of the duct. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- A motor area thick with grease
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
School kitchens, at schools like Charterhouse School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What your quote should include
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether they’re fully insured
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What hours they’ll be on site
Different parts, different methods
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. That’s what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Hurtmore
Food Standards Agency data counts about 30 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 8 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hurtmore. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Kitchens in Hurtmore get their food hygiene inspections from Guildford 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. The fire and rescue service for Hurtmore is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Hurtmore, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. A hospital like Milford Hospital, about 2.4 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Hurtmore is about 4 miles south-west of Guildford, in Surrey. We carry out extract fan cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Hurtmore and the rest of Surrey. Our Surrey coverage runs to 395 places, Hurtmore among them.

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 won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
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, next to our reports.
Why act early in Hurtmore
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
