Medway · Extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning in Allhallows, Medway
For extract fan cleaning in Allhallows, one call is all it takes, from survey to sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A fan that won’t start

Extract fan cleaning in Allhallows, done properly
A clean fan is not a repaired fan. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we’ll tell you, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. Common call-outs are for an extract fan with no cleaning record and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease, across roof-mounted fans, in-line fans and centrifugal fans.
Work in a small place like Allhallows starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What else we do in Allhallows
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
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.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Allhallows.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- 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
- Clear the space around the work
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice
Allhallows: your questions answered
Can sea air affect extract fan cleaning in Allhallows?
It can. Salt air reaches Allhallows, which is within about 1 mile of the coast, and it speeds up rust. A fan housing that is rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Is Allhallows within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Allhallows is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
It has to be off and isolated, for safety. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking is not affected.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we will book around them.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Allhallows
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. The difference throws the impeller off balance and puts strain on the bearings. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Allhallows, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

What affects the quote in Allhallows
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Parking and loading at the site
- The times the site is available
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
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 so you know the cost before work begins.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
