Extract fan cleaning in Nutfield

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Nutfield

The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan, and that’s what we clean. We’re often asked to deal with a fan that has never been cleaned and a fan that no longer moves enough air, across discharge points, centrifugal fans and roof-mounted fans.

In a small place like Nutfield, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.

Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Multi-site and managed buildings

The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

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’re happy to quote for all of it.

Nutfield kitchens: local notes

Food Standards Agency records list about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Nutfield. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. The fire and rescue service for Nutfield is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Food hygiene inspections in Nutfield are the job of Tandridge council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.

If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like East Surrey Hospital about 2.1 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Nutfield Church CofE Primary School or anywhere near Nutfield, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A kitchen near Nutfield station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Why act early in Nutfield

For a kitchen in Nutfield, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. If the fan is coated, the duct before it normally is too so a full TR19 clean may be due. A fault that closes a site in a village like Nutfield affects everyone who depends on it.

What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Why book with us

Different parts, different methods

Fan housings and motors

We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so we clean what we safely can.

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.

How the visit works

There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Nutfield before we set off.

  1. We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
  2. We isolate the power before opening the housing.
  3. Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
  4. The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
  5. It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
  • Let us know about parking and loading

Advice

Keeping the system healthy

Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:

  • Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
  • Keep records of every fan clean
  • Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
  • Report rattles or humming early

A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.

Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Nutfield

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:

  • How easy every part is to reach
  • The condition we find in the survey
  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • Parking and loading at the site

Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Helping us quote

We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:

  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • Any access panels or hatches you can see
  • The site address and the type of premises

We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Nutfield

Which fire service covers Nutfield?

Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Nutfield. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.

Will you come out to Nutfield?

Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Nutfield is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.

How often should the extract fan be cleaned?

At least as often as the rest of the extract, which BESA guidance sets by daily cooking hours: from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use. A noisy or heavily coated fan may need it sooner.

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.

What happens if you cannot reach some of it?

They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.

Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?

Every clean has a photo report, with anything we noticed. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How much does extract fan cleaning cost?

The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.

Are you insured?

Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
