How we handle extract fan cleaning in Stoughton

If the extract fan in Stoughton has become noisy, weak or greasy? A few details or a photo help when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and you’ll get a fixed price, normally within one working day. The work covers axial fans, fan housings and roof-mounted fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan that no longer moves enough air and a fan shaking on its mounts.

Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Stoughton gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.

Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Common questions in Stoughton

Can school kitchens in Stoughton be cleaned in the holidays?

Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 26 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Stoughton. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we will plan around them.

Is Stoughton within the area you cover?

Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Stoughton included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.

Can you come out in an emergency?

Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.

Can you fix a fan that is worn out?

A clean won’t mend wear. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.

Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?

Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. If a fan cannot be reached, the report says so, so you always know what was cleaned.

Can you clean the fan on its own?

Yes, where it makes sense. We will often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan typically means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.

Which sectors do you work in?

Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

How do you protect the area?

By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.

Different parts, different methods

Kitchens with long cooking hours

A long-hours kitchen cannot afford a fan failure. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.

Impellers and blades

While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: cracks, bent blades or wear. We note any concerns.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Tell us when your site near Stoughton is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.

  1. We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
  2. The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
  3. Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
  4. We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
  5. It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.

Before we arrive

  • Clear loose items from the work area
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
  • Let us know about parking and loading

Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Extract fan cleaning around Stoughton

Look up Stoughton on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 146 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 43 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Stoughton, 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. In Stoughton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Guildford council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Stoughton is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

Historic houses near Stoughton, such as Guildford Castle about 1.7 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. For schools such as Stoughton Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Emmanuel Church, or anywhere in Stoughton, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Keeping the system healthy

Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:

  • Keep access to the fan clear
  • Run the extract throughout cooking
  • Never cook with a filter missing
  • Watch for grease marks around the outlet

Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.

Make sure the fan is reachable. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Stoughton

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.

When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.

What a clean won’t put right

Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:

  • An impeller that’s bent or split
  • A dirty duct upstream of the fan
  • Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)

If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Roof-mounted fans
  • Axial fans
  • Discharge points
  • Fan housings
  • In-line fans
  • Centrifugal fans

How we price extract fan cleaning

The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:

  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • Where the site is and how we reach it
  • What state the system is in
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle

Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.

What we need to know

Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:

  • Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

If you need extract fan cleaning in Stoughton, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
