What extract fan cleaning looks like in Molesey
Food Standards Agency records include about 24 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Molesey. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Molesey 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. It’s Elmbridge council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Molesey. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Molesey, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. For schools such as The Orchard Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

About our extract fan cleaning in Molesey
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. If you are dealing with a fan left out of previous cleans and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Molesey, 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. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Molesey
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. The grease that’s left lands on the blades and the casing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A motor area thick with grease
- A heavily greased fan housing
- A fan shaking on its mounts
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Teddington Memorial Hospital about 2.2 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Before you book anyone
- Whether a survey comes first
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
Listen to the fan. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Molesey, so let us know how to reach it.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Advice
Part by part
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: cracks, bent blades or wear. We note any concerns.
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface, so the outlet area is checked too. We note any grease around the fan.
When something else is needed
Extract fan cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- Wiring faults to the fan
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- In-line fans
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
- Fan housings
Molesey questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Molesey?
The local authority for Molesey is Elmbridge council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire service covers Molesey?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Molesey. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. If a fan can’t be reached, the report says so, so the record is accurate.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
Cleaning removes grease, but it cannot fix worn parts. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The size of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
