Leave it or put it right?
A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Many fan problems start with grease, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. In a small place like Shalford, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Shalford
A clean fan is not a repaired fan. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we’ll tell you and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You’ll know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. The work covers axial fans, centrifugal fans and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles.
For a kitchen in or near Shalford, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Shalford before we set off.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Move anything stored near the system

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Keep access to the fan clear
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Shalford
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition of the system
- The size of the system
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Grease, kitchens and Shalford
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 15 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Shalford and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Environmental health officers from Guildford council inspect food businesses in Shalford. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Shalford falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Shalford?
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing where the spinning blades spread it around.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Shalford Infant School or anywhere near Shalford, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: chips, distortion or wear. We note any concerns.
Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
