Common questions in Sutton Abinger
Can the work in Sutton Abinger be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Sutton Abinger can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Sutton Abinger during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Sutton Abinger, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
At least as often as the rest of the extract, which BESA guidance sets by daily cooking hours: every 3, 6 or 12 months. A noisy or heavily coated fan may need it sooner.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Sutton Abinger run smoothly.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Different parts, different methods
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Sutton Abinger
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The number of sites or systems
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition we find in the survey
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Why act early in Sutton Abinger
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. It’s simpler to plan the work at Sutton Abinger now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Why book with us
- Trading since 2009
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- A written report with pictures after every visit
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
Take a look at how cleaning jobs are priced and our accreditations.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Sutton Abinger
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Grease stains around the discharge
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hatchlands Park is about 4.3 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
