Mogador extract fan cleaning
Our technicians work in Mogador on extract fan cleaning. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures on every job.

- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
About our extract fan cleaning in Mogador
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. The work covers roof-mounted fans, axial fans and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are burning smells from the fan area and a heavily greased fan housing.
Somewhere as small as Mogador, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. 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 most single fans. In a small place like Mogador, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know about parking and loading

Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.

Common questions in Mogador
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Mogador?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Mogador. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can the work in Mogador be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Mogador needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen cannot cook while we work. That’s why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Mogador?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, if the fan needs it. We’ll often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan normally means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
A clean won’t mend wear. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Mogador
How fast a fan gets greasy in Mogador depends on the cooking: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Headley Court (about 3.2 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Proof of insurance
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How big the system is
- What state the system is in
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Parking and loading at the site
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
When it’s something else
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- An impeller that’s bent or split
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.

Grease, kitchens and Mogador
There are about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Mogador, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Mogador sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Mogador are the job of Reigate and Banstead council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
School kitchens, at schools like Kingswood 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 Church of Jesus Christ and the Wisdom of God or elsewhere in Mogador, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

How the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
