Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Mytchett
We have been trading since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. The work covers fan housings, axial fans and roof-mounted fans, and people most often call us about a motor area thick with grease and a smell of hot grease from the extract.
In a smaller place like Mytchett, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Grease, kitchens and Mytchett
Food Standards Agency data counts about 56 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 30 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Mytchett. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Mytchett sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from Surrey Heath council inspect food businesses in Mytchett. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in Mytchett, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Frimley Park Hospital about 2 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. School kitchens, at schools like Mytchett Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Mytchett is about 2 miles south of Frimley, in Surrey. Anywhere in GU16, we can carry out extract fan cleaning at your premises. Mytchett is one of 395 places in Surrey where we work for commercial clients. Our Guildford page covers sites nearby, about 7 miles away.
We cover every part of GU16 for extract fan cleaning and the streets around it. We cover sites on Wynfields, Coleford Close and Burgess Close and the roads around them. With the B3411 close by, Mytchett is simple for us to get to for extract fan cleaning. Nearby, we also carry out extract fan cleaning in North Camp (1 mile south-west), Ash Vale (2 miles south), Farnborough (2 miles west), Cove (3 miles west) and Southwood (3 miles west). Further out, we also cover Guildford (7 miles south-east), Woking (7 miles east), Camberley (3 miles north), Farnham (6 miles south-west), Egham (12 miles north-east) and Walton-on-Thames (15 miles north-east).
Around Mytchett
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Henry Tyndale School, Prince of Wales pub and Sixth Form College. Other local landmarks include Frimley Lodge Park (0.6 miles north) and National Aerospace Library (1.4 miles west). The nearest railway station is Farnborough North station, roughly 1.1 miles north-west of the centre. A little further out are Frimley Park Hospital (2 miles north) and Royal Army Dental Corps Historical Museum (1.8 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Danger Hill and Aunt's Pool.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Run the extract throughout cooking
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
Make sure the fan is reachable. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Why act early in Mytchett
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. A site near Mytchett that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Mytchett
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The postcode and the type of business
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Different parts, different methods
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. We clean them where they can be safely reached, and anything we can’t reach is recorded.
Questions from Mytchett
Do you work in villages like Mytchett?
Yes, Mytchett is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Mytchett?
The local authority for Mytchett is Surrey Heath council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Mytchett?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
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.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We can repair or replace it, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
A single accessible fan doesn’t take long, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. We plan it out of hours.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so the site does not lose a service.
How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. A site near Mytchett normally has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us where we can park and unload
