What happens if it’s left?
Cleaning the fan in Tadworth now is a short job: it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. When a site near Tadworth shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Tadworth
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but a fan can also need attention on its own, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. If you are dealing with weak extraction at the canopy and thick grease on the impeller and casing, we can help.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Tadworth gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

The process
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Tadworth when you book.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
Where we work

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Tadworth
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 10 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Tadworth. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Kitchens in Tadworth get their food hygiene inspections from Reigate and Banstead council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Tadworth is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of the Good Shepherd or elsewhere in Tadworth, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. A kitchen near Tadworth station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

FAQs for Tadworth
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Tadworth?
Kitchens in Tadworth are inspected by Reigate and Banstead council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can a school canteen extract in Tadworth be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Tadworth. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Tadworth?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, because it unbalances the fan. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What we are called out for in Tadworth
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A heavily greased fan housing
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Tadworth Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Proof of insurance
How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and grease builds up on them unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. We clean it along with the blades.
How we price extract fan cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
