How we handle extract fan cleaning in West Clandon
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A heart under strain works harder for less. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found so you get a clean bill of health. Typical jobs include a smell of hot grease from the extract and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan, across fan housings, discharge points and roof-mounted fans.
Work in a small place like West Clandon starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.

Why act early in West Clandon
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller does not stay small. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown and a kitchen can’t cook safely without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. In a small place like West Clandon, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in West Clandon before we set off.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

When to call us in West Clandon
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
If you cook for passing trade around Clandon station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in West Clandon and across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Damaged fan blades
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

West Clandon kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around West Clandon, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. West Clandon sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Environmental health officers from Guildford council inspect food businesses in West Clandon. 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or anywhere around West Clandon, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St. Luke’s Hospital (about 3.3 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in West Clandon
Do you work at weekends in West Clandon?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in West Clandon can fit around your hours. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in West Clandon?
Food hygiene inspections in West Clandon are carried out by Guildford council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
How long is a fan clean?
A single accessible fan does not take long, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Grease on the blades and housing is one of the usual causes, because it unbalances the fan. It can also be wear in the bearings or motor, which our report will flag.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
