About our extract fan cleaning in Wyke
Grease on a fan isn’t spread evenly. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. A thorough clean removes the cause. The work covers fan housings, discharge points and in-line fans, and the jobs we see most are grease around the motor and its mounts and an extract fan with no cleaning record.
Somewhere as small as Wyke, 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.
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’re fully insured.

Wyke: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Wyke?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Wyke in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Wyke. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will fit the work in.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, we do. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
An unbalanced impeller, normally from uneven grease, is a common cause. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
Allow an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. We will confirm the time when we quote.
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Wyke, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Find the previous report, if there is one

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Wyke?
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Guildford Hospital is the nearest hospital to Wyke, about 3.9 miles east.

Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
- In-line fans
- Discharge points
Different parts, different methods
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them, so the outlet area is checked too. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Extract fan cleaning in Wyke: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records include about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Wyke. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. It’s Guildford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Wyke. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Wyke. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Wyke, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Wyke Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
