Sutton at Hone extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning for Sutton at Hone, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Sutton at Hone
Not all extract fans are the same: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. The way in depends on the type and the survey shows us how to reach it. If you are dealing with burning smells from the fan area and rough running from the extract fan, we can put it right, from axial fans, centrifugal fans and roof-mounted fans onwards.
In a small place like Sutton at Hone, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

For landlords and multi-site operators
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Sutton at Hone.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.

Sutton at Hone: your questions answered
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Sutton at Hone?
That’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work overnight in Sutton at Hone?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Sutton at Hone needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is Sutton at Hone in your area?
Yes. Sutton at Hone is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
It takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Your quote will give an idea.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, where it makes sense. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.

Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
When to call us in Sutton at Hone
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Sutton at Hone as anywhere. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Sutton at Hone, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Proof of insurance
