Extract fan cleaning for sites in Weston Green

Extract fan cleaning in Weston Green, done properly

The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a fan can also need attention on its own, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. The work covers axial fans, discharge points and centrifugal fans, and the jobs we see most are grease escaping from the fan outlet and burning smells from the fan area.

Somewhere as small as Weston Green, 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, whatever the size of the place.

We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What a clean won’t put right

We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:

  • An impeller that is bent or split
  • A motor that has burnt out
  • A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)

Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Parts of the system we cover

  • In-line fans
  • Axial fans
  • Centrifugal fans
  • Discharge points
  • Roof-mounted fans
  • Fan housings

Why act early in Weston Green

Cleaning the fan in Weston Green now is a short job: the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Waiting adds vibration, wear and a harder clean. In a small place like Weston Green, a system that fails can take a site out of use.

A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.

Why book with us

  • Fully insured
  • Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
  • CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
  • A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London

Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Food hygiene inspections in Weston Green are the job of Elmbridge council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Weston Green falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

What happens on the day

Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits, and we clear up before we go. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Weston Green can be planned properly.

  1. We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
  2. With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
  3. The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
  4. We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
  5. It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

What staff can safely do

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

What the work involves, part by part

Impellers and blades

Coated blades move less air. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.

Fan housings and motors

We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Weston Green

Will you come out to Weston Green?

Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Weston Green is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.

Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Weston Green?

That is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.

Do you have insurance?

Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.

Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?

Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. If a fan cannot be reached, the report says so, so the record is accurate.

Who has the legal duty for fire safety?

It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.

How often does the fan need cleaning?

Daily cooking hours set the minimum, under BESA guidance. At the extremes, that’s 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.

Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?

A clean will not mend wear. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.

What affects the quote in Weston Green

There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:

  • One-off work versus a regular cycle
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
  • The condition we find in the survey
  • How big the system is

You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

What we need to know

There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:

  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • Any previous report or certificate
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
