Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Littleton
If the extract fan in Littleton has become noisy, weak or greasy? Tell us about it when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and you’ll get a fixed price, usually within one working day. If you have less air being pulled from the kitchen and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- An impeller that is bent or split
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)

Littleton questions
Which fire service covers Littleton?
That’s 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.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Littleton?
Food hygiene inspections in Littleton are carried out by Spelthorne council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so you don’t have to close during trading.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Why deal with it now?
For a kitchen in Littleton, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it, so it’s worth checking the whole system. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Littleton is calmer for everyone.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up, and we clear up before we go. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Littleton, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Extract fan cleaning in Littleton: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records include about 9 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Littleton. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Kitchens in Littleton get their food hygiene inspections from Spelthorne council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Littleton is covered by 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.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Littleton (Botleys Mansion is about 3.7 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care. For schools such as Littleton CofE Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Littleton?
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. When filters do not seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
What we are most often called out for:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A heavily greased fan housing
A hospital like Ashford Hospital, about 2.3 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface, so the outlet area is checked too. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, so grease and wear build up together. Regular cleans help it keep going.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
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.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
