Extract fan cleaning in Thorpe Green, done properly
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. If you have a fan left out of previous cleans and vibration from an unbalanced impeller, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Thorpe Green kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 6 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses across Thorpe Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Thorpe Green sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Runnymede council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Thorpe Green. 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Thorpe Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. School kitchens, at schools like Thorpe CofE Aided Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What affects the quote in Thorpe Green
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- What state the system is in
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The size of the system
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Thorpe Green
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
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.
Why act early in Thorpe Green
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the motor runs under more strain. A fault that closes a site in a village like Thorpe Green affects everyone who depends on it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
What you get with us

Questions from Thorpe Green
Which fire service covers Thorpe Green?
Thorpe Green is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can a school canteen extract in Thorpe Green be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 5 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Thorpe Green. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Grease on the blades and housing is one of the usual causes, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. It can also be wear in the bearings or motor, which our report will flag.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
With the fan isolated, the extract isn’t running. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, it should be. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we will plan the visit around them.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Thorpe Green.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about parking and loading

Related advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
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.
Common problems we fix in Thorpe Green
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
A kitchen near Virginia Water station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
