Extract Fan Cleaning in Shortfield Common
Our technicians work in Shortfield Common on cleaning of kitchen extract fans, impellers, fan housings and discharge points. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.

- A fan left out of previous cleans

What staff can safely do
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, which is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Somewhere as small as Shortfield Common, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

FAQs for Shortfield Common
Can a school canteen extract in Shortfield Common be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Shortfield Common, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Shortfield Common?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Shortfield Common. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Different parts, different methods
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so we clean what we safely can.

Why act early in Shortfield Common
Cleaning the fan in Shortfield Common now is a short job: it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Waiting adds vibration, wear and a harder clean. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Shortfield Common is calmer for everyone.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Make sure the fan is included each time
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes an hour or two for most single fans. For a village or hamlet like Shortfield Common, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Shortfield Common
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
