What extract fan cleaning looks like in Mayford
Food Standards Agency records list about 13 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 5 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Mayford. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. It’s Woking council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Mayford. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Mayford sits within the area of 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.

How we handle extract fan cleaning in Mayford
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan, and that is what we clean. The work covers axial fans, roof-mounted fans and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are a smell of hot grease from the extract and grease escaping from the fan outlet.
In a village or hamlet like Mayford, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Somewhere like Mayford, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
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. Planning a trip to Mayford ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Different parts, different methods
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so the method is planned in advance. Anything out of reach is recorded.
Impellers and blades
Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
When to call us in Mayford
Grease condenses as the air cools, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Weak extraction at the canopy
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mark's Church or anywhere around Mayford, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- If they look at the system before pricing
How we price extract fan cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The times the site is available
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Mayford, the Food Standards Agency lists about 4 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will fit the work in.
Can we book visits on a schedule?

How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
At least as often as the rest of the extract, which BESA guidance sets by daily cooking hours: every 3, 6 or 12 months. Some fans need attention sooner.

Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we’ll book around them.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
