How we handle extract fan cleaning in Thames Ditton
Any fan serving a kitchen in Thames Ditton is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. If you have a fan left out of previous cleans and vibration from an unbalanced impeller, we can put it right.
Kitchens around a place like Thames Ditton are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Thames Ditton?
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
Where a hall near Church of St. Nicholas, or anywhere in Thames Ditton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What affects the quote in Thames Ditton
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How big the system is
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, and anything we can’t reach is recorded.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. We get to them through the duct or casing, once they’re isolated.

What else we do in Thames Ditton
How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Everything the job in Thames Ditton needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
When something else is needed
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- Damaged fan blades
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
