The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Oxshott can typically be finished without a second trip.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.

Extract fan cleaning in Oxshott, done properly
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. The work covers fan housings, centrifugal fans and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan that has never been cleaned and a motor area thick with grease.
In a smaller place like Oxshott, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Oxshott?
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing where the spinning blades spread it around.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A motor area thick with grease
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
Commuter trade near Oxshott station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

Different parts, different methods
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
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 we clean what we safely can.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Why act early in Oxshott
A fan that sounds rough in Oxshott is often telling you the extract needs a clean. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it, so it’s worth checking the whole system. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.

- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The scale of the work
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
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, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Grease, kitchens and Oxshott
Look up Oxshott on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Oxshott. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Oxshott is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from Elmbridge council inspect food businesses in Oxshott. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Epsom Cottage Hospital (about 2.5 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Andrew's Church or anywhere around Oxshott, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Questions from Oxshott
Can the work in Oxshott be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Which council inspects kitchens in Oxshott?
Food hygiene inspections in Oxshott are carried out by Elmbridge council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, it should be. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
Do you cover Oxshott?
Yes. We work in Oxshott and across Surrey, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. As a guide, it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
