Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Paynes Green
We’ve been trading since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. Common call-outs are for a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and a noisy fan that has got louder over time, across in-line fans, discharge points and centrifugal fans.
In a village or hamlet like Paynes Green, 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, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
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.
Different parts, different methods
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so we plan how to reach and clean them. Anything out of reach is recorded.
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Paynes Green?
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan, wearing bearings and mounts. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Horsham Hospital about 4.2 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

How it works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes an hour or two for most single fans, and we clear up before we go. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Paynes Green.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; 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.

Leave it or put it right?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the motor runs under more strain. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What affects the quote in Paynes Green
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The size of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
Kitchen extracts in Paynes Green
In Paynes Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Horsham council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss.

The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Paynes Green
Is Paynes Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Paynes Green is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which fire authority looks after Paynes Green?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Paynes Green. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do we need to close while you work?
Normally not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A motor that has burnt out
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- Damaged fan blades
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
