How we handle extract fan cleaning in Ramsnest Common
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. Common call-outs are for a heavily greased fan housing and a fan left out of previous cleans, across in-line fans, discharge points and centrifugal fans.
Work in a small place like Ramsnest Common starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Ramsnest Common can be planned properly.
- 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.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Extract fan cleaning around Ramsnest Common
There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Ramsnest Common and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Kitchens in Ramsnest Common get their food hygiene inspections from Waverley council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Ramsnest Common falls to 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.

Questions from Ramsnest Common
Can you work in Ramsnest Common outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Ramsnest Common can fit around your hours. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which environmental health team covers Ramsnest Common?
Food hygiene inspections in Ramsnest Common are carried out by Waverley council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. Anything that cannot be reached is recorded, so you always know what was cleaned.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Grease on the blades and housing is one of the usual causes, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. It can also be wear in the bearings or motor, which our report will flag.
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 couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: every 3, 6 or 12 months. A noisy or heavily coated fan may need it sooner.
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 it takes a risk-based approach.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- What state the system is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Why deal with it now?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger and the motor works harder. 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. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

Common problems we fix in Ramsnest Common
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Ramsnest Common as anywhere. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor does not help.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Weak extraction at the canopy
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Haslemere and District Hospital (about 2.7 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Questions to ask before booking
- If they look at the system before pricing
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What insurance they carry
