How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Somewhere like South Nutfield, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- 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
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice
Extract fan cleaning in South Nutfield
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look so you get a clean bill of health. If you have an extract fan with no cleaning record and a noisy fan that has got louder over time, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near South Nutfield, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Questions from South Nutfield
Which fire authority looks after South Nutfield?
South Nutfield is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
Which environmental health team covers South Nutfield?
That is Tandridge council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in South Nutfield. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What information do you need?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
A clean will not mend wear. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. It can also be wear in the bearings or motor, which our report will flag.
What affects the quote in South Nutfield
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How big the system is
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How many systems or sites are involved
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A fan that won’t start
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.

Common problems we fix in South Nutfield
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan, wearing bearings and mounts. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Grease stains around the discharge
Where a hall near Christ Church, or anywhere in South Nutfield, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of insurance
- What hours they’ll be on site
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in South Nutfield and across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, so grease and wear build up together. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. We clean it along with the blades.
Extract fan cleaning in South Nutfield: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 12 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 takeaways across South Nutfield and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers South Nutfield. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in South Nutfield are the job of Tandridge council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Nutfield Church CofE Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to South Nutfield is East Surrey Hospital, about 1.4 miles west.

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
File the photo report with your other extract records. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
