Why it’s worth doing now in Weybridge

A fan that sounds rough in Weybridge is often telling you the extract needs a clean. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it so a full TR19 clean may be due. Booking now keeps it a routine visit to Weybridge rather than an urgent one.

No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

What you get with us

  • Full insurance on every job
  • Survey first, then a fixed quote
  • Every visit written up, with pictures

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Weybridge

Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. Typical jobs include a smell of hot grease from the extract and grease stains around the discharge, across centrifugal fans, discharge points and roof-mounted fans.

Most kitchens in a town like Weybridge cannot close for a day, so the work is done after service, overnight or on a closed day. The kitchen is handed back clean and ready to cook.

For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the job changes from site to site

Impellers and blades

Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.

Fan housings and motors

Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.

The process

We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. We arrive in Weybridge once you’ve closed and leave the site ready for the morning.

  1. We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
  2. It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
  3. Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
  4. Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
  5. It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking and loading
  • Find the previous report, if there is one
  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Common questions in Weybridge

Can you work in Weybridge outside opening hours?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Weybridge needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.

Which fire authority looks after Weybridge?

Weybridge is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.

How long is a fan clean?

Allow a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.

Will we have to shut during the visit?

Not normally. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.

What types of premises do you cover?

We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.

Does the law say we must follow TR19?

No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.

Are you accredited?

Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?

At least as often as the rest of the extract, which BESA guidance sets by daily cooking hours: from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use. Some fans need attention sooner.

Multi-site and managed buildings

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.

Extract fan cleaning around Weybridge

Look up Weybridge on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 83 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 24 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Weybridge. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Fire safety in Weybridge falls to 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. It’s Elmbridge council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Weybridge. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.

If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St James CofE Primary School or anywhere near Weybridge, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A hospital like No. 2 New Zealand General Hospital, about 1.4 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Keeping the system healthy

Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:

  • Notice when the fan starts to sound different
  • Run the extract throughout cooking
  • Keep records of every fan clean
  • Check the report shows the fan was cleaned

Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.

Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
