About our extract fan cleaning in Shamley Green
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. The way in depends on the type and the survey shows us how to reach it. The work covers fan housings, axial fans and in-line fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a motor area thick with grease and a noisy fan that has got louder over time.
In a village or hamlet like Shamley Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.

What affects the quote in Shamley Green
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The times the site is available
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
Why act early in Shamley Green
A fan clean in Shamley Green doesn’t take long: the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Waiting adds vibration, wear and a harder clean. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Why book with us
- Photo reports with every job
- Fully insured
- Trading since 2009
- One number for every site across the South East and London

Shamley Green kitchens: local notes
Look up Shamley Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Shamley Green, up to about a mile and a half out. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Kitchens in Shamley Green get their food hygiene inspections from Waverley council. 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. Shamley Green sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
School kitchens, at schools like Wonersh and Shamley Green CofE Aided Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St. Luke’s Hospital (about 3.9 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Where a hall near Christ Church, or anywhere in Shamley Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Shamley Green, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Questions from Shamley Green
Which fire authority looks after Shamley Green?
That’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you come to Shamley Green after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Shamley Green can fit around your hours. When you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
The fan must be isolated before anyone touches it. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking isn’t affected.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
A single accessible fan does not take long, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. We plan it out of hours.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Grease readings and the fan’s condition can show it needs more.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
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 early action can save a repair.
