Extract fan cleaning in Berwick, Kent

Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A fan that will not start
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Extract fan cleaning in Berwick, done properly
A clean fan is not a repaired fan. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we’ll tell you, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. The work covers axial fans, roof-mounted fans and centrifugal fans, and people most often call us about less air being pulled from the kitchen and rough running from the extract fan.
In a village or hamlet like Berwick, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

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. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Berwick
Berwick is within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Food Standards Agency data counts about 10 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 5 takeaways in and around Berwick, up to about a mile and a half out. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Fire safety in Berwick falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
School kitchens, at schools like Lympne Church of England Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Stephen or elsewhere in Berwick, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

FAQs for Berwick
Can a school canteen extract in Berwick be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Berwick, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Will you come out to Berwick?
Yes, Berwick is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, where it makes sense. We’ll often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan usually means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Are you accredited?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Part by part
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. We clean it along with the blades.
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or two for most single fans. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Berwick can be planned properly.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Keep records of every fan clean
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
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.
Common problems we fix in Berwick
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Berwick as anywhere. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Rough running from the extract fan
Westenhanger Castle, about 0.9 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Berwick; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
