About extract fan cleaning in Medway

If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A heart under strain works harder for less. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found so you get a clean bill of health. Typical jobs include a heavily greased fan housing and rough running from the extract fan, on centrifugal fans, discharge points and roof-mounted fans.

There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows.

We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.

Extract fan cleaning around Medway

In Medway, we work in places such as Gillingham, Chatham and Rochester and well beyond. We cover every place we list for Medway, 68 in all, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.

Across England, including Medway, the responsible person has a legal duty to assess and reduce fire risk, and a TR19® certificate and photo report give you a record of the work. In the coastal parts of Medway, salt air and damp are hard on ductwork, fans and dampers, which is worth knowing when systems are inspected.

Gillingham: Historic houses near Gillingham, such as Restoration House about 3.3 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. A hospital like Medway Maritime Hospital, about 1.6 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What affects the quote in Medway

You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:

Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Parking and loading at the site
The condition of the system
When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends

Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What to send for a quote

You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:

The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Any previous report or certificate
Any access panels or hatches you can see
Your opening hours and when the area is out of use

Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.

Aftercare tips

To keep the system working properly between visits:

Make sure the fan is included each time
Keep access to the fan clear
Look for grease stains near the discharge
Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan

You get before and after photos of the impeller and housing. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.

Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.

Honest limits

We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:

Damaged fan blades
A dirty duct upstream of the fan
A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

What we are called out for in Medway

Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.

The symptoms we are asked about most include:

A fan coated in grease inside its housing
A motor area thick with grease
An extract fan with no cleaning record
Rough running from the extract fan

Questions from Medway

Do you look at the system first?

Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.

Can you clean the fan on its own?

Yes, we can clean just the fan. That helps when the fan needs attention before the next full clean, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.

Do we need to close while you work?

Not typically. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.

Can you come out in an emergency?

Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
