Our extract fan cleaning service in Kent

Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but a fan can also need attention on its own, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. The work covers roof-mounted fans, fan housings and in-line fans, and the jobs we see most are a smell of hot grease from the extract and an extract fan with no cleaning record.

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 an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and we clear up before we go.

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.
Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.

How to get a quote

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Extract fan cleaning across Kent: local notes

From Maidstone, Ashford and Canterbury to its smaller places, Kent has kitchens of every size. Every one gets the same full TR19® clean, from the canopy to the discharge.

Much of our work across London and the South East happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so sites across Kent do not have to lose a day. Near the coast in Kent, salt and damp speed up corrosion in fans, ducts and dampers, which is worth knowing when systems are inspected.

Maidstone: Where a hall near St Philip's Church, or anywhere in Maidstone, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as South Borough Primary School or anywhere near Maidstone, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Why deal with it now?

A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning

A fan in Kent builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.

What we are most often called out for:

Grease escaping from the fan outlet
A fan shaking on its mounts
Thick grease on the impeller and casing
Less air being pulled from the kitchen

Multi-site and managed buildings

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.

What affects the quote in Kent

You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:

How easy every part is to reach
Working hours and out-of-hours timing
One-off work versus a regular cycle
How big the system is

Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

Asking for a quote

What to send for a quote:

Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Where the site is and what kind of site it is
The times we could work without disrupting the site

We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Honest limits

We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:

A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
A dirty duct upstream of the fan
An undersized fan that can’t cope

Common questions in Kent

How often does the fan need cleaning?

With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: every 3, 6 or 12 months. A noisy or heavily coated fan may need it sooner.

Can the work be done while we are closed?

Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so you do not have to close during trading.

Which accreditations do you hold?

We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?

Grease on the blades and housing is one of the usual causes, because it unbalances the fan. It can also be wear in the bearings or motor, which our report will flag.

What information do you need?

The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.

Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?

We also repair and replace extract fans. If cleaning shows a worn motor, bearings or impeller, we’ll tell you and quote for the repair.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
