Extract fan cleaning in Surbiton Park
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. 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. Typical jobs include a fan that hums, whines or rumbles and vibration from an unbalanced impeller, on in-line fans, centrifugal fans and fan housings.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Surbiton Park is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Common questions in Surbiton Park
Which fire service covers Surbiton Park?
That’s London Fire Brigade. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Surbiton Park during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 42 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Surbiton Park. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Do you cover Surbiton Park?
Yes. Our technicians work in Surbiton Park, within the South East and London area we cover.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
One easily reached fan is quick, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A motor that has burnt out
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Centrifugal fans
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
- In-line fans
- Axial fans
- Fan housings
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Surbiton Park.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

What we are called out for in Surbiton Park
A fan in Surbiton Park builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Kingston Hospital about 1.5 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Kitchen extracts in Surbiton Park
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 67 pubs and bars and about 7 hotels and B&Bs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Surbiton Park. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. London jobs usually start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. Environmental health officers from Kingston-Upon-Thames council inspect food businesses in Surbiton Park. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St John's Church or elsewhere in Surbiton Park, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Andrew's and St Mark's CofE Junior School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What the work involves, part by part
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
Leave it or put it right?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the motor runs under more strain. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.
