About our extract fan cleaning in Pyrford Green
Not all extract fans are the same: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. The way in depends on the type, and we plan that during the survey. The work covers fan housings, axial fans and roof-mounted fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan coated in grease inside its housing and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles.
In a village or hamlet like Pyrford Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How the job changes from site to site
Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. We clean it along with the blades.

Leave it or put it right?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger, while the motor runs under more strain. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Pyrford Green
Can a school canteen extract in Pyrford Green be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 5 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Pyrford Green. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Pyrford Green?
In Pyrford Green, it’s Woking council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
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, so it doesn’t spread.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
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.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. As a guide, it takes an hour or two for most single fans.
Grease, kitchens and Pyrford Green
Food Standards Agency records include about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Pyrford Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Pyrford Green is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Pyrford Green are the job of Woking council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Woking Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Pyrford Green, about 2.6 miles west. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Nicholas's Church or elsewhere in Pyrford Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. School kitchens, at schools like Pyrford Church of England Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Pyrford Green is about 3 miles east of Woking, in Surrey.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan cleaning won’t do:
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on in Pyrford Green
- Discharge points
- Fan housings
- Axial fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Pyrford Green can be planned properly.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Pyrford Green and across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
