Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stanwell
We’ve been trading since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. If you are dealing with burning smells from the fan area and a fan that has never been cleaned, we can help, from roof-mounted fans, centrifugal fans and in-line fans onwards.
Around a smaller place like Stanwell, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Never cook with a filter missing
When we have finished, the fan is reassembled and run. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
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.
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Stanwell, so let us know how to reach it.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear the space around the work

Extract fan cleaning in Stanwell: the local picture
Look up Stanwell on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 83 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 12 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Stanwell. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Stanwell sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from Spelthorne council inspect food businesses in Stanwell. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
For schools such as Stanwell Fields CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Stanwell, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Common problems we fix in Stanwell
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. So grease often settles heavily there.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Stanwell is Ashford Hospital, about 0.9 miles south.

Common questions in Stanwell
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Stanwell in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 8 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Stanwell. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Stanwell?
Stanwell is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. Anything that can’t be reached is recorded, so the record is accurate.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Every clean has a photo report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Why act early in Stanwell
Cleaning the fan in Stanwell now is a short job: it takes an hour or two for most single fans. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. Even a site near Stanwell that is only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
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.
