Extract fan cleaning in Wood Street Village, done properly
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A heart under strain works harder for less. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found, before signing it off. If you’re dealing with burning smells from the fan area and rough running from the extract fan, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Wood Street Village, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Different parts, different methods
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Regular cleans help it keep going.

Extract fan cleaning in Wood Street Village: the local picture
Food Standards Agency data counts about 13 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 6 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Wood Street Village. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Wood Street Village is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Food hygiene inspections in Wood Street Village 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. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

Leave it or put it right?
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

Wood Street Village questions
Which environmental health team covers Wood Street Village?
That’s Guildford council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Wood Street Village. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Wood Street Village during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 15 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Wood Street Village, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract, from every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours of cooking a day to every 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
It has to be off and isolated before anyone touches it. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking is not affected.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. Keep it with your maintenance log.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two for most single fans. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Wood Street Village.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Move anything stored near the system

Multi-site and managed buildings
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What affects the quote in Wood Street Village
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How easy every part is to reach
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The size of the system

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Wood Street Village?
Grease condenses as the air cools, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Wood Street Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
