Extract fan cleaning in Bapchild
In Bapchild, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. If you are dealing with an extract fan with no cleaning record and a heavily greased fan housing, we can help, from discharge points, centrifugal fans and roof-mounted fans onwards.
In a small place like Bapchild, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Bapchild
The FSA’s data shows about 4 pubs, bars and clubs registered across Bapchild and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Bapchild sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Swale council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Bapchild. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Bapchild, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Rodmersham School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Bapchild?
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing where the spinning blades spread it around.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Weak extraction at the canopy
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Belmont House and Gardens is about 4.6 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
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 can diagnose it and quote.
Different parts, different methods
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
Fan housings and motors
Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. In a small place like Bapchild, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Move anything stored near the system

Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Bapchild keeps running as normal. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Bapchild during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 5 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Bapchild, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
We also repair and replace extract fans. If we find wear or damage, we will explain it and send you a fixed quote.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
We always isolate the fan first, so it can’t run during the clean. With the extract off, the kitchen can’t cook, so we work out of hours.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.
