How we handle extract fan cleaning in Sandhurst
In Sandhurst, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. The work covers fan housings, roof-mounted fans and centrifugal fans, and the jobs we see most are a fan that has never been cleaned and burning smells from the fan area.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Sandhurst?
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing where the spinning blades spread it around.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
For schools such as Sandhurst Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Questions from Sandhurst
Can you come to Sandhurst after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Sandhurst during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Sandhurst, the Food Standards Agency lists about 4 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Sandhurst?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
It takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Your quote will give an idea.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Sandhurst
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How many systems or sites are involved
- What state the system is in
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know

- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

What happens on the day

The work on site takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. The timing of a visit to Sandhurst is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system

- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Related advice
Why act early in Sandhurst
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen cannot cook safely. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Sandhurst rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
