Extract fan cleaning around Sutton Green
The FSA’s data shows about 6 pubs, bars and clubs registered in Sutton Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Sutton Green is covered by 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. It’s Woking council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Sutton Green. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Woking Community Hospital (about 2.4 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Church and community hall kitchens, near All Souls' Church or anywhere around Sutton Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. For schools such as Hoe Valley School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Extract fan cleaning in Sutton Green, done properly
We’ve been trading since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you are dealing with a fan left out of previous cleans and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease, we can help, from axial fans, fan housings and centrifugal fans onwards.
Somewhere as small as Sutton Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Report rattles or humming early
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
File the photo report with your other extract records. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan cleaning will not do:
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Sutton Green: your questions answered
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Sutton Green during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Sutton Green. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will fit the work in.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Sutton Green?
Sutton Green is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
A single accessible fan does not take long, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. We plan it out of hours.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and if it fails outright, our 24/7 emergency line is there.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Sutton Green.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area

Part by part
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: cracks, bent blades or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
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.
How we price extract fan cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The scale of the work
- The condition we find in the survey
- Parking and loading at the site
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
If you need extract fan cleaning in Sutton Green, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
