Surrey · Extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning in South Park, Surrey
Extract fan cleaning for South Park, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in South Park
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, before signing it off. We’re often asked to deal with vibration from an unbalanced impeller and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles, across discharge points, axial fans and roof-mounted fans.
Kitchens around a place like South Park are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What happens if it’s left?
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller doesn’t stay small. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown and a kitchen can’t cook safely without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.

What we’re called out for in South Park
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.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
Where a hall near St Luke's, or anywhere in South Park, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Everything the job in South Park needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Different parts, different methods
Fan housings and motors
Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing after isolating them.

Extract fan cleaning around South Park
Look up South Park on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 54 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 14 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of South Park. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. South Park is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In South Park, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Reigate and Banstead council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Sandcross Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A hospital like East Surrey Hospital, about 2 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
South Park is about 1 mile south of Reigate, in Surrey. We carry out extract fan cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in South Park and the rest of Surrey. Our Surrey coverage runs to 395 places, and South Park is one of them. We also work in Guildford, around 16 miles away.

- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- Wiring faults to the fan

FAQs for South Park
Which fire authority looks after South Park?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers South Park. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Will you come out to South Park?
Yes, South Park is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
A common cause is grease. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning does not, the bearings or motor may need attention.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
We always isolate the fan first, so it cannot run during the clean. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. If a fan can’t be reached, the report says so, so the record is accurate.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
