Extract fan cleaning in Windlesham
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but a fan can also need attention on its own, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. Typical jobs include hot, greasy smells near the fan and a fan coated in grease inside its housing, on axial fans, roof-mounted fans and discharge points.
Around a smaller place like Windlesham, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

FAQs for Windlesham
Which council inspects kitchens in Windlesham?
The local authority for Windlesham is Surrey Heath council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you cover smaller places like Windlesham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We can repair or replace it, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Windlesham kitchens: local notes
There are about 12 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 6 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Windlesham, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Windlesham sits within the area of 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 Surrey Heath council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Windlesham. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Where a hall near Church of St John the Baptist, or anywhere in Windlesham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Windlesham Village Infant School or anywhere near Windlesham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Windlesham?
How fast a fan gets greasy in Windlesham depends on the cooking: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Windlesham is Heatherwood Hospital, about 3.3 miles north-west.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Never cook with a filter missing
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. In a place like Windlesham, we fit the visit around your hours.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote

How we price extract fan cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition we find in the survey
- The scale of the work
- Travel, parking and unloading
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 play a part.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
