How we handle extract fan cleaning in Ranmore Common
Not all extract fans are the same: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. Each is isolated and opened in its own way, and we plan that during the survey. If you’re dealing with an extract fan with no cleaning record and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan, we can help, from fan housings, discharge points and in-line fans onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Ranmore Common, 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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Ranmore Common and across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Common problems we fix in Ranmore Common
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. When filters don’t seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
Where a hall near Church of St Barnabas, or anywhere in Ranmore Common, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Why deal with it now?
Cleaning the fan in Ranmore Common now is a short job: the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. A planned visit to Ranmore Common is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
What you get with us
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- In business since 2009
- Photo reports with every job
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001

- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.

Related advice
Common questions in Ranmore Common
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Ranmore Common?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Ranmore Common. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Ranmore Common?
Food hygiene inspections in Ranmore Common are carried out by Mole Valley council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, where it makes sense. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen cannot cook while we work. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Uneven grease on the impeller often causes it. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.

What else we do in Ranmore Common
What the work involves, part by part
Fan housings and motors
Motors and their electrics are kept dry and treated with care, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so we clean what we safely can.
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and grease builds up on them unevenly. That’s what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
