How we handle extract fan cleaning in Shere
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing and we clean it off. If you are dealing with a motor area thick with grease and vibration from an unbalanced impeller, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Shere starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When something else is needed
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- A fan that will not start
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Discharge points
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
Why deal with it now?
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. A fault that closes a site in a village like Shere affects everyone who depends on it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
Why book with us
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
You get before and after pictures of the impeller and housing. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Listen to the fan. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Shere
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Shere?
The local authority for Shere is Guildford council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you work at weekends in Shere?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Shere doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll normally reply within one working day.
How long is a fan clean?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. As a guide, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. That helps when the fan needs attention before the next full clean, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Shere
Food Standards Agency data counts about 7 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Shere. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Kitchens in Shere get their food hygiene inspections from Guildford council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Shere is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Church of St James or elsewhere in Shere, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Shere is St. Luke’s Hospital, about 4.2 miles west. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Shere CofE Aided Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Somewhere as small as Shere, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
