Extract Fan Cleaning in Littleton Common

How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and grease builds up on them unevenly. That is what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Fan housings and motors
Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Littleton Common
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and you will get a fixed price, normally within one working day. We are often asked to deal with less air being pulled from the kitchen and rough running from the extract fan, across fan housings, centrifugal fans and in-line fans.
Somewhere as small as Littleton Common, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Kitchen extracts in Littleton Common
The FSA’s data shows about 15 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Littleton Common. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Food hygiene inspections in Littleton Common are the job of Spelthorne council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Littleton Common 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.
School kitchens, at schools like Ashford CofE Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Parish Church of St Matthew or elsewhere in Littleton Common, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Littleton Common questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Littleton Common?
Food hygiene inspections in Littleton Common are carried out by Spelthorne council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which fire authority looks after Littleton Common?
Fire safety enforcement in Littleton Common is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so the site does not lose a service.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Littleton Common?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before any work starts.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
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.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
At least as often as the rest of the extract, which BESA guidance sets by daily cooking hours: every 3, 6 or 12 months. A noisy or heavily coated fan may need it sooner.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
Fan repair and replacement is part of what we do. If cleaning shows a worn motor, bearings or impeller, we will tell you and quote for the repair.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.
Leave it or put it right?
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Littleton Common rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Common problems we fix in Littleton Common
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
If you run a café or takeaway near Upper Halliford station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Littleton Common can be planned properly.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
