Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Staines-upon-Thames
Can you come to Staines-upon-Thames after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Staines-upon-Thames doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Which environmental health team covers Staines-upon-Thames?
The local authority for Staines-upon-Thames is Spelthorne council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, we can clean just the fan. That helps when the fan needs attention before the next full clean, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
The fan follows the full system’s interval, from every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours of cooking a day to every 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
A clean won’t mend wear. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.

For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How it works

- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Part by part
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing, once they’re isolated.
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.
