Sheet's Heath questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Sheet's Heath?
That’s Woking council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Sheet's Heath. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you work in villages like Sheet's Heath?
Yes, Sheet's Heath is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Sheet's Heath?
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. We fix the price before we start.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
With the fan isolated, the extract is not running. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
About our extract fan cleaning in Sheet's Heath
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. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. The work covers axial fans, in-line fans and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and weak extraction at the canopy.
For a kitchen in or near Sheet's Heath, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- A single visit or a regular plan
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 play a part.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Problems your staff have spotted

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Make sure the fan is included each time
You get before and after photos of the impeller and housing. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.

It’s Woking council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Sheet's Heath. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up.

How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.
Why it’s worth doing now in Sheet's Heath
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger and the motor works harder. A planned visit to Sheet's Heath is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A fan that will not start
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Axial fans
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
- Fan housings
- Centrifugal fans
Common problems we fix in Sheet's Heath
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan and puts strain on the bearings. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Saint Saviour's Church or elsewhere in Sheet's Heath, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Somewhere like Sheet's Heath, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
