Extract fan cleaning in Parkgate
Any fan serving a kitchen in Parkgate is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. If you have a motor area thick with grease and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, we can help, from centrifugal fans, in-line fans and roof-mounted fans onwards.
Work in a small place like Parkgate starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A motor that has burnt out
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover

Extract fan cleaning in Parkgate: the local picture
About 23 miles out from central London, Parkgate is part of the South East area we work across. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. In Parkgate, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Mole Valley council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Around Parkgate, as anywhere, we clean the parts you can’t see as well as the canopy you can.
Parkgate is about 4 miles south-east of Dorking, in Surrey. We carry out extract fan cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Parkgate and the rest of Surrey.

What we are called out for in Parkgate
How fast a fan gets greasy in Parkgate depends on the cooking: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Parkgate is Langley Green Hospital, about 5.1 miles south-east.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- If they look at the system before pricing
Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
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.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
How the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen can’t afford a fan failure. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Parkgate: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Parkgate?
Food hygiene inspections in Parkgate are carried out by Mole Valley council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you come to Parkgate after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Parkgate doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Cleaning removes grease, but it cannot fix worn parts. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
It depends on how many hours the kitchen cooks, under BESA guidance. At the extremes, that is 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Every clean has a photo report, with anything we noticed. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.

What else we do in Parkgate
The process
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up, and we clear up before we go. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Parkgate run smoothly.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
