In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Nutcombe
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing and we clean it off. The work covers axial fans, roof-mounted fans and centrifugal fans, and the jobs we see most are fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease.
In a village or hamlet like Nutcombe, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

When to call us in Nutcombe
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.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A heavily greased fan housing
Where a hall near Church of St Luke, or anywhere in Nutcombe, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
You get before and after photos of the impeller and housing. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Keep the route to the fan clear. 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.
Nutcombe: your questions answered
Can school kitchens in Nutcombe be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 5 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Nutcombe. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Nutcombe?
Kitchens in Nutcombe are inspected by Waverley council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, because it unbalances the fan. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
Is Nutcombe in your area?
Yes. We cover Nutcombe and across Surrey, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Nutcombe
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 18 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 13 takeaways across Nutcombe and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Nutcombe. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Nutcombe, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Waverley council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Amesbury School or anywhere near Nutcombe, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Haslemere and District Hospital (about 1.7 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Nutcombe run smoothly.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Why deal with it now?

We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
