- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Wiring faults to the fan

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in South Earlswood
Can you come to South Earlswood after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in South Earlswood does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which environmental health team covers South Earlswood?
That’s Reigate and Banstead council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in South Earlswood. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you cover South Earlswood?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes South Earlswood.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We can repair or replace it, and if it fails outright, our 24/7 emergency line is there.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What the work involves, part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. The timing of a visit to South Earlswood is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Common problems we fix in South Earlswood
A fan in South Earlswood builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like East Surrey Hospital about less than half a mile north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Before you book anyone
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Leave a clear route to the fan
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.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in South Earlswood
Food Standards Agency data counts about 20 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 10 takeaways across South Earlswood and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Fire safety in South Earlswood falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in South Earlswood get their food hygiene inspections from Reigate and Banstead council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.

Why act early in South Earlswood
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. A planned visit to South Earlswood is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
