Extract fan cleaning in Redhill
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. Typical jobs include an extract fan with no cleaning record and grease around the motor and its mounts, across roof-mounted fans, axial fans and discharge points.
Kitchens in towns like Redhill are often in older buildings that were never designed for them, so duct runs can be awkward, with bends, long horizontal sections and too few access panels. Sections we can’t reach are listed on the report, and access panels can be added.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes an hour or two for most single fans. A closed day, an evening or an early start: whichever suits your site in Redhill, we will book around it.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Redhill?
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. The difference throws the impeller off balance, wearing bearings and mounts. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Joseph's Catholic Primary School or anywhere near Redhill, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A motor that has burnt out
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Redhill
Food Standards Agency data counts about 43 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 19 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Redhill. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. It’s Reigate and Banstead council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Redhill. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Redhill. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Saint Matthew's Church or elsewhere in Redhill, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you cook for passing trade around Redhill station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Why deal with it now?
The fan is part of the fire path. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. Nothing in a duct, damper or fan improves by being left.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Report grease escaping from the fan
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
How we price extract fan cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How big the system is
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
Common questions in Redhill
Do you work overnight in Redhill?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Redhill does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Redhill?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Redhill. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you cover Redhill?
Yes. Our technicians work in Redhill, within the South East and London area we cover.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, if the fan needs it. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. If a fan cannot be reached, the report says so, so you always know what was cleaned.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
