About our extract fan cleaning in Westfield
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. The work covers roof-mounted fans, in-line fans and centrifugal fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan that has never been cleaned and rough running from the extract fan.
In a smaller place like Westfield, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later 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.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Westfield
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids

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 work begins.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Westfield
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Westfield during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 11 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Westfield. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you work at weekends in Westfield?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Different parts, different methods
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen cannot afford a fan failure. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Report rattles or humming early
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Leave a clear route to the fan
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Around Westfield, access is normally simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Advice
What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A motor that has burnt out
- Wiring faults to the fan
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Grease, kitchens and Westfield
Look up Westfield on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 77 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 36 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Westfield, 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. Food hygiene inspections in Westfield are the job of Woking council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Westfield sits within the area of 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.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Westfield (Clandon Park is about 4.1 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Westfield Primary School or anywhere near Westfield, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A hospital like Woking Community Hospital, about 1 mile north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Westfield is about 1 mile south-east of Woking, in Surrey. Westfield gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos. 395 places in Surrey are on our list, large and small.

What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
