Extract fan cleaning in Mickleham, done properly
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing and we clean it off. If you’re dealing with a smell of hot grease from the extract and a fan shaking on its mounts, we can help, from roof-mounted fans, centrifugal fans and in-line fans onwards.
Somewhere as small as Mickleham, 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Extract fan cleaning in Mickleham: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 16 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Mickleham. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Food hygiene inspections in Mickleham are the job of Mole Valley council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Mickleham is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Headley Court (about 2.4 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Michael's CofE Aided Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Questions from Mickleham
Which environmental health team covers Mickleham?
Food hygiene inspections in Mickleham are carried out by Mole Valley council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Mickleham?
That is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you work in Mickleham?
Yes. Mickleham is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
What we are called out for in Mickleham
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan and puts strain on the bearings. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Burning smells from the fan area
Polesden Lacey, about 2.4 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Mickleham; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Before booking anyone
- Whether a survey comes first
- Proof of insurance
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
Why act early in Mickleham
For a kitchen in Mickleham, 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 a full TR19 clean may be due. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- File the fan’s report with your other records
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.
Listen to the fan. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
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 floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. In a small place like Mickleham, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing, once they’re isolated.
