Extract fan cleaning in Thorpe, Surrey
Extract fan cleaning for Thorpe, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A motor area thick with grease
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Thorpe
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. The way in depends on the type, and we plan that during the survey. If you have grease around the motor and its mounts and burning smells from the fan area, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Thorpe, 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 report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Part by part
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: chips, distortion or wear. We note any concerns.
Common questions in Thorpe
Which fire authority looks after Thorpe?
Fire safety enforcement in Thorpe is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you come to Thorpe after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Thorpe keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
How it works
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Thorpe.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Thorpe?
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
Botleys Mansion, about 2.5 miles south, is one of the historic houses near Thorpe; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What insurance they carry
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Thorpe
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Putting the work off seldom saves money. 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 details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises
If you need extract fan cleaning in Thorpe, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Report rattles or humming early
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
Extract fan cleaning around Thorpe
The FSA’s data shows about 10 pubs and bars registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Thorpe. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Thorpe 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. In Thorpe, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Runnymede council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Thorpe CofE Aided Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. A hospital like Runnymede Hospital, about 2.2 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
