About our extract fan cleaning in Neames Forstal

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. Common call-outs are for burning smells from the fan area and a heavily greased fan housing, across in-line fans, axial fans and discharge points.

Work in a small place like Neames Forstal starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.

The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

FAQs for Neames Forstal

Do you work overnight in Neames Forstal?

Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Neames Forstal can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.

Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Neames Forstal in the summer holidays?

Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Neames Forstal. You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.

What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?

Uneven grease on the impeller often causes it. After cleaning, we will tell you if wear or damage is also involved.

What happens if you cannot reach some of it?

We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.

What should I send you?

Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Is Neames Forstal in your area?

Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Neames Forstal.

What does extract fan cleaning cost?

We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before work begins.

Why act early in Neames Forstal

A fan that sounds rough in Neames Forstal is often telling you the extract needs a clean. If the fan is coated, the duct before it normally is too, so it’s worth checking the whole system. A fault that closes a site in a village like Neames Forstal affects everyone who depends on it.

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

What you get with us

  • One number for every site across the South East and London
  • Photo reports with every job
  • CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
  • Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

What affects the quote in Neames Forstal

You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:

  • Working hours and out-of-hours timing
  • How big the system is
  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
  • Parking and loading at the site

Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What we need to know

Before you ask for a quote, gather:

  • Your last certificate, test record or report
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • Wide photos of the system and the area around it
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.

Between visits

Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:

  • Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
  • Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
  • File the fan’s report with your other records
  • Look for grease stains near the discharge

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. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.

Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.

When it’s something else

We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:

  • An impeller that is bent or split
  • A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
  • Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)

Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What the work covers

  • In-line fans
  • Discharge points
  • Fan housings
  • Roof-mounted fans
  • Centrifugal fans
  • Axial fans

Different parts, different methods

Wall fans

With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.

Inline duct fans

Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.

What happens on the day

We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Neames Forstal.

  1. First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
  2. With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
  3. The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
  4. Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
  5. 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
  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions
  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Ask for a quote

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
