Extract fan cleaning in Nob's Crook, done properly
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A heart under strain works harder for less. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found, before signing it off. The work covers axial fans, discharge points and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are a fan that has never been cleaned and a fan coated in grease inside its housing.
Work in a small place like Nob's Crook 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.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Make sure the fan is included each time
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What the work involves, part by part
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them and we check the area around the outlet. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Why it’s worth doing now in Nob's Crook
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. In a small place like Nob's Crook, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Somewhere like Nob's Crook, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.

Advice
When to call us in Nob's Crook
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. When filters don’t seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Nob's Crook, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

FAQs for Nob's Crook
Do you work in villages like Nob's Crook?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Nob's Crook included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you come to Nob's Crook after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Nob's Crook can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
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 look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. That helps when the fan needs attention before the next full clean, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
