Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stonehill
In Stonehill, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. The work covers centrifugal fans, axial fans and discharge points, and people most often call us about grease around the motor and its mounts and a fan left out of previous cleans.
In a small place like Stonehill, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Stonehill?
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. The grease that is left lands on the blades and the casing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Burning smells from the fan area
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St. Peter's Hospital about 1.8 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Questions to ask before you book

Other services in Stonehill
Managing agents and facilities teams in Stonehill
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. The timing of a visit to Stonehill is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

How the job changes from site to site
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
Stonehill kitchens: local notes
Look up Stonehill on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 12 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Stonehill, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Fire safety in Stonehill 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. Environmental health officers from Runnymede council inspect food businesses in Stonehill. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Christ Church, or anywhere in Stonehill, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Salesian School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Why it’s worth doing now in Stonehill
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Stonehill rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.

Stonehill: your questions answered
Can you work in Stonehill outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Stonehill can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who inspects food businesses in Stonehill?
Food hygiene inspections in Stonehill are carried out by Runnymede council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum, under BESA guidance. Heavy use means at least every 3 months, light use at least every 12, fan included.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, if the fan needs it. We will often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan usually means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
Do you cover Stonehill?
Yes. We cover Stonehill and the rest of Surrey, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. File it with your other extract records.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- File the fan’s report with your other records
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
