Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in South Godstone
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan, and that’s what we clean. If you have grease escaping from the fan outlet and a fan shaking on its mounts, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like South Godstone, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What happens if it’s left?
For a kitchen in South Godstone, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it so a full TR19 clean may be due. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Fire safety in South Godstone falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Tandridge council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in South Godstone. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.

Common problems we fix in South Godstone
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A motor area thick with grease
- Rough running from the extract fan
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Stephen, or anywhere in South Godstone, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Before booking anyone
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What paperwork you get at the end
Different parts, different methods
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. We get to them through the duct or casing after isolating them.
Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.
How we price extract fan cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Travel, parking and unloading
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
South Godstone: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for South Godstone?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for South Godstone. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can the work in South Godstone be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in South Godstone doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it cannot start while we work. With the extract off, the kitchen can’t cook, so we work out of hours.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Before and after photos go into a report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
One easily reached fan is quick, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to South Godstone can be planned properly.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in South Godstone and across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
