Part by part
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. We clean them where they can be safely reached, and anything we can’t reach is recorded.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Tatsfield
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing and we clean it off. If you are dealing with less air being pulled from the kitchen and vibration from an unbalanced impeller, we can help.
Kitchens in Tatsfield, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Tatsfield questions
Is parking a problem for work in Tatsfield?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Can the work in Tatsfield be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Tatsfield keeps running as normal. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Is Tatsfield in your area?
Yes. We work in Tatsfield and across Greater London, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
A clean will not mend wear. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Tatsfield saves time on the night.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Related advice
How we price extract fan cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Any permits to work or inductions
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Why deal with it now?
The fan is part of the fire path. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

When to call us in Tatsfield
Grease condenses as the air cools, 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.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A heavily greased fan housing
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Weak extraction at the canopy
Where a hall near Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Tatsfield, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Kitchen extracts in Tatsfield
Food Standards Agency records list about 11 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 10 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Tatsfield. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. Food hygiene inspections in Tatsfield are the job of Tandridge council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Titsey Place is about 1.4 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Tandridge Priory (about 2.8 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
