Common problems we fix in Munstead Heath
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A motor area thick with grease
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St John the Baptist Church, or anywhere in Munstead Heath, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Never cook with a filter missing
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
Part by part
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. We clean it along with the blades.
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.

It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract, from every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours of cooking a day to every 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
We always isolate the fan first, so it can’t start while we work. With the extract off, the kitchen can’t cook, so we work out of hours.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
