About our extract fan cleaning in Lingfield Common
Any fan serving a kitchen in Lingfield Common is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. The work covers axial fans, roof-mounted fans and fan housings, and people most often call us about less air being pulled from the kitchen and a noisy fan that has got louder over time.
In a small place like Lingfield Common, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Lingfield Common questions
Who is the fire and rescue service for Lingfield Common?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Lingfield Common. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you come to Lingfield Common after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Lingfield Common doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
It has to be off and isolated, for safety. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking isn’t affected.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum, under BESA guidance. At the extremes, that’s 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
Before and after pictures go into a report, with anything we noticed. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.

What else we do in Lingfield Common
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Lingfield Common and across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.
What happens if it’s left?
A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Lingfield Common rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Visits to a village like Lingfield Common are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
Advice
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Lingfield Common
Look up Lingfield Common on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 9 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 takeaways in and around Lingfield Common, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Food hygiene inspections in Lingfield Common are the job of Tandridge council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Lingfield Common. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Lingfield Common, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Queen Victoria Hospital about 3.5 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you cook for passing trade around Lingfield station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Part by part
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing, once they’re isolated.
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
