Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Bekesbourne Hill
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Rough running from the extract fan
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
A hospital like St Martins Hospital, about 1.6 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Questions to ask before booking
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What paperwork you get at the end
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Extract fan cleaning in Bekesbourne Hill
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. 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. If you have hot, greasy smells near the fan and grease escaping from the fan outlet, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Bekesbourne Hill, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the visit works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Bekesbourne Hill.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’ll tell you before we start. It does not solve:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- Wiring faults to the fan
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Report rattles or humming early
File the photo report with your other extract records. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.

What happens if it’s left?
A fan that sounds rough in Bekesbourne Hill is often telling you the extract needs a clean. If the fan is coated, the duct before it typically is too so a full TR19 clean may be due. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Bekesbourne Hill is calmer for everyone.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

Different parts, different methods
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
Bekesbourne Hill questions
Do you cover smaller places like Bekesbourne Hill?
Yes. Bekesbourne Hill is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you come to Bekesbourne Hill after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Bekesbourne Hill keeps running as normal. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
At least as often as the rest of the extract, which BESA guidance sets by daily cooking hours: from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use. Some fans need attention sooner.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
