Extract fan cleaning in Tilford Common, done properly
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look, before signing it off. The work covers fan housings, discharge points and axial fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan left out of previous cleans and rough running from the extract fan.
In a small place like Tilford Common, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Think of the report as the 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 and sits alongside the report.

Why act early in Tilford Common
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The size of the system
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether several sites go on one quote
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- A few general shots of the system
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
What a clean won’t put right
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we will tell you before work begins. It does not solve:
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- Damaged fan blades
- A fan that won’t start
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
Part by part
Wall fans
Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, and anything we cannot reach is recorded.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Tilford Common
Look up Tilford Common on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Tilford Common and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Food hygiene inspections in Tilford Common are the job of Waverley council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Tilford Common falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.

Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Tilford Common before we set off.
- 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.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice
Tilford Common questions
Will you come out to Tilford Common?
Yes, Tilford Common is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Tilford Common?
In Tilford Common, it’s Waverley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. It can also be wear in the bearings or motor, which our report will flag.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
Cleaning removes grease, but it can’t fix worn parts. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
