How we price extract fan cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The times the site is available
- What state the system is in
Every site is different, 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.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
Extract fan cleaning in Wrecclesham, 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. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. Common call-outs are for a fan that hums, whines or rumbles and grease around the motor and its mounts, on axial fans, in-line fans and fan housings.
Around a smaller place like Wrecclesham, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What else we do in Wrecclesham
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
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 couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up, and we clear up before we go. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Wrecclesham.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Questions from Wrecclesham
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Wrecclesham out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 6 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Wrecclesham. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll fit the work in.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Wrecclesham?
That’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning doesn’t, the bearings or motor may need attention.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
Fan repair and replacement is part of what we do. If cleaning shows a worn motor, bearings or impeller, we will tell you and quote for the repair.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Wrecclesham?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. Keep it with your maintenance log.
Extract fan cleaning around Wrecclesham
Food Standards Agency data counts about 32 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 5 takeaways in Wrecclesham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. The fire and rescue service for Wrecclesham is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Waverley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Wrecclesham. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. 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 Peter's CofE Primary School or anywhere near Wrecclesham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Peter's Church or elsewhere in Wrecclesham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Why it’s worth doing now in Wrecclesham
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller doesn’t stay small. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure and a kitchen cannot cook safely without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Wrecclesham at a time that suits you.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

Different parts, different methods
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen cannot afford a fan failure. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Axial fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
What we’re called out for in Wrecclesham
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. When filters don’t seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Farnham Castle is about 1.6 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
