Questions from Parkgate
Can you come to Parkgate after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Parkgate doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Parkgate?
The local authority for Parkgate is Mole Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
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.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into with a fixed price agreed before work begins.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Extract fan repair in Parkgate
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. We find out why and put it right, by repairing the fan or replacing it. If you have a fan that whines, hums or grinds and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Parkgate, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Roof and wall-mounted fans
Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. Access affects how long a repair takes and we plan around it.
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. We will tell you if that is what we find and explain what we found.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and fewer faults.
Noise is typically the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
Why act early in Parkgate
Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained and the eventual repair is larger. In a place like Parkgate, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
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 play a part.
