Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Reigate
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. We’re often asked to deal with a fan shaking on its mounts and less air being pulled from the kitchen, across roof-mounted fans, in-line fans and discharge points.
Many kitchens in a town like Reigate were fitted into buildings built for something else, so duct runs can be awkward, with bends, long horizontal sections and too few access panels. Where the duct can’t be reached, new panels can be fitted, and anything left uncleaned is recorded on the report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Common problems we fix in Reigate
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. The grease that’s left lands on the blades and the casing where the spinning blades spread it around.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
Commuter trade near Reigate station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
Before you book anyone

- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Extract fan cleaning in Reigate: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 57 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 19 takeaways and sandwich shops in Reigate and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Reigate. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Reigate, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Reigate and Banstead council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
For schools such as Reigate Priory Community Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary Magdalene or elsewhere in Reigate, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Multi-site and managed buildings
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.
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.
Questions from Reigate
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Reigate?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Reigate. 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 Reigate?
Kitchens in Reigate are inspected by Reigate and Banstead council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.

Allow a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. We will confirm the time when we quote.

What else we do in Reigate
The process
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 a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Work in Reigate is usually booked after closing, early in the morning or on a closed day.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- 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
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
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.
