FAQs for Lower Bourne
Can you work in Lower Bourne outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Lower Bourne needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Lower Bourne in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 11 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Lower Bourne. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
Every clean has a photo report, with anything we noticed. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you cover Lower Bourne?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Lower Bourne included.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, it should be. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
Extract fan cleaning in Lower Bourne, done properly
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll give you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Lower Bourne, usually within one working day. We are often asked to deal with rough running from the extract fan and grease around the motor and its mounts, across in-line fans, roof-mounted fans and axial fans.
In a smaller place like Lower Bourne, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Why act early in Lower Bourne
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen can’t cook safely. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. A quieter site near Lower Bourne still needs its system looked after.
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.

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Lower Bourne?
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Lower Bourne as anywhere. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A motor area thick with grease
- Grease stains around the discharge
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Farnham College tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Lower Bourne.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Find the previous report, if there is one

What the work involves, part by part
Fan housings and motors
Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Long cooking hours mean more grease reaches the fan. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
Extract fan cleaning around Lower Bourne
The Food Standards Agency lists about 11 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses across Lower Bourne and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. In Lower Bourne, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Waverley council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Lower Bourne. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Martin by the Green or anywhere around Lower Bourne, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Farnham Castle is about 1.6 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

What affects the quote in Lower Bourne
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The size of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
- Any permits to work or inductions
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
