Extract fan cleaning in Bedgebury Cross
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. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. The work covers in-line fans, centrifugal fans and discharge points, and people most often call us about a motor area thick with grease and vibration from an unbalanced impeller.
Work in a small place like Bedgebury Cross 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.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Bedgebury Cross kitchens: local notes
At about 37 miles from central London, Bedgebury Cross sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Environmental health officers from Tunbridge Wells council inspect food businesses in Bedgebury Cross. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Ticehurst House Hospital about 3.5 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Christ Church or elsewhere in Bedgebury Cross, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Historic houses near Bedgebury Cross, such as Scotney Castle about 1.8 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

The process
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Bedgebury Cross and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Bedgebury Cross
Who is the fire and rescue service for Bedgebury Cross?
That’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you work at weekends in Bedgebury Cross?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Bedgebury Cross keeps running as normal. When you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
An unbalanced impeller, typically from uneven grease, is a common cause. After cleaning, we will tell you if wear or damage is also involved.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
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.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Report rattles or humming early
- Keep records of every fan clean
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Make sure the fan is reachable. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
