Extract Fan Cleaning in Onslow Village
Extract fan cleaning for Onslow Village, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Weak extraction at the canopy
How it works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes an hour or two for most single fans, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. We plan the journey to Onslow Village and bring what the job is likely to need.
- 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.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Extract fan cleaning around Onslow Village
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 42 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Onslow Village. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Food hygiene inspections in Onslow Village are the job of Guildford council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Onslow Village. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Onslow Infant School or anywhere near Onslow Village, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Guildford Castle is about 1.3 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Onslow Village questions
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Onslow Village?
Onslow Village is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can a school canteen extract in Onslow Village be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 24 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Onslow Village, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Typically not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How the job changes from site to site
Fan housings and motors
Motors and their electrics are kept dry and treated with care, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so we clean what we safely can.
Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on in Onslow Village
- Fan housings
- Discharge points
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
You get before and after photos of the impeller and housing. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
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 we’re called out for in Onslow Village
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. The difference throws the impeller off balance and puts strain on the bearings. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Royal Surrey County Hospital (about 0.5 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
