Extract fan cleaning across Willey Green

Extract fan cleaning in Willey Green: the local picture

Food hygiene inspections in Willey Green are the job of Guildford council’s environmental health team. 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. The fire and rescue service for Willey Green is 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.

For schools such as Kings College Guildford, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Wanborough Manor, about 1.8 miles south, is one of the historic houses near Willey Green; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Willey Green is Guildford Hospital, about 2.2 miles south-east.

Extract fan cleaning in Willey Green

In Willey Green, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. We are often asked to deal with rough running from the extract fan and a heavily greased fan housing, across fan housings, in-line fans and discharge points.

Somewhere as small as Willey Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.

The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Aftercare tips

Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:

  • Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
  • Keep access to the fan clear
  • Keep records of every fan clean
  • Look for grease stains near the discharge

File the photo report with your other extract records. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.

Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.

What extract fan cleaning cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
  • A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
  • Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)

If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.

Parts of the system we cover

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

What staff can safely do

Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning

The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:

  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • The condition we find in the survey
  • Where the site is and how we reach it
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule

We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will explain what it covers.

Asking for a quote

To help us quote quickly, please include:

  • Any previous report or certificate
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Willey Green: your questions answered

Do you work overnight in Willey Green?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.

Will you come out to Willey Green?

Yes, Willey Green is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

What information do you need?

Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.

Are you fully insured?

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

Can you look after several sites?

Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.

Is TR19 cleaning required by law?

No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.

What does extract fan cleaning cost?

There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.

How much notice do you need?

Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.

What the work involves, part by part

Roof-mounted fans

Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface and we check the area around the outlet. We note any grease around the fan.

Wall fans

Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.

The process

Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Willey Green and turn up when the site is quiet.

  1. Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
  2. With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
  3. Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
  4. Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
  5. We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
  • Have your last certificate or report to hand
  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
