- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A heavily greased fan housing
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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 they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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.
Extract fan cleaning in Laleham
A clean fan is not a repaired fan. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we’ll tell you, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. The work covers fan housings, discharge points and roof-mounted fans, and common reasons people get in touch are less air being pulled from the kitchen and a noisy fan that has got louder over time.
In a smaller place like Laleham, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
We are 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.

Grease, kitchens and Laleham
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 16 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Laleham. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Fire safety in Laleham falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. In Laleham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Spelthorne council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Laleham (Botleys Mansion is about 3.4 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Ashford Hospital (about 2 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Laleham is about 1 mile south-east of Staines-upon-Thames, in Surrey. Every kind of commercial site in Laleham, we can take on extract fan cleaning. We can work out of hours so trading is not interrupted. Laleham is one of 395 towns, villages and districts in Surrey where we work for commercial clients. Our Guildford page covers sites nearby, about 12 miles away.
Work in TW18 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. We cover sites on Northfield Road, Willowmead and Staines Road and the roads around them. We also cover the places around Laleham: Littleton (1 mile south-east), Ashford (2 miles north-east), Shepperton Green (2 miles south-east), Littleton Common (2 miles east) and Charlton (2 miles east). Further out, we also cover Guildford (12 miles south), Woking (8 miles south-west), Camberley (12 miles south-west), Epsom (11 miles south-east), Ewell (11 miles south-east) and Egham (3 miles west).
Local landmarks in Laleham
Around Laleham, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near The Matthew Arnold School, Penton Park and Three Horse Shoes Public House and the streets around them. Laleham’s nearest station is Staines station, roughly 1.2 miles north-west. Nearby you will also find Spelthorne Museum (1.6 miles north-west) and Ashford Hospital (2 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s St Ann's Hill and Kempton Park Reservoirs.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Keep records of every fan clean
File the photo report with your other extract records. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Listen to the fan. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
How we price extract fan cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up, and we clear up before we go. For a place like Laleham, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Questions from Laleham
Can a school canteen extract in Laleham be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 12 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Laleham, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you get to a site in Laleham?
Yes. Laleham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
Every clean has a photo report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, it should be. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, if the fan needs it. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Laleham?
Grease condenses as the air cools, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. So grease often settles heavily there.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A fan left out of previous cleans
School kitchens, at schools like Laleham CofE VA Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Laleham
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
