Shottermill: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Shottermill?
That’s Waverley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Shottermill. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Is Shottermill within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Uneven grease on the impeller often causes it. After cleaning, we will tell you if wear or damage is also involved.
What does TR19 mean?
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.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. 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.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Extract fan cleaning in Shottermill, done properly
Grease on a fan isn’t spread evenly. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. A thorough clean removes the cause. The work covers centrifugal fans, in-line fans and fan housings, and people most often call us about vibration from an unbalanced impeller and less air being pulled from the kitchen.
In a smaller place like Shottermill, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. We plan the journey to Shottermill and bring what the job is likely to need.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Shottermill?
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
If you cook for passing trade around Haslemere station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

What staff can safely do
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, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.

What the work involves, part by part
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: chips, distortion or wear. We note any concerns.
Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
