Extract Fan Cleaning in Pyrford
Extract fan cleaning for Pyrford, with a survey first and a report with pictures at the end. Call for a fixed quote.
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A heavily greased fan housing
The process
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Everything the job in Pyrford needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Extract fan cleaning in Pyrford, done properly
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. Typical jobs include a fan shaking on its mounts and rough running from the extract fan, on roof-mounted fans, discharge points and centrifugal fans.
Kitchens around a place like Pyrford are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
What the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: cracks, bent blades or wear. We note any concerns.
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- An impeller that is bent or split
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on in Pyrford
- Roof-mounted fans

What happens if it’s left?
A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Many fan problems start with grease, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Pyrford at a time that suits you.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What affects the quote in Pyrford
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Travel, parking and unloading
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- A few general shots of the system
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Extract fan cleaning around Pyrford
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Pyrford and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In Pyrford, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Woking council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Pyrford sits within the area of 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.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Pyrford is Woking Community Hospital, about 2 miles south-west. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of the Good Shepherd or elsewhere in Pyrford, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. School kitchens, at schools like Pyrford Church of England Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- File the fan’s report with your other records
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
Pyrford: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Pyrford?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Pyrford included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can school kitchens in Pyrford be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 14 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Pyrford. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
Cleaning removes grease, but it can’t fix worn parts. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
