Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bloodden
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. Typical jobs include a fan coated in grease inside its housing and an extract fan with no cleaning record, on axial fans, discharge points and roof-mounted fans.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

When something else is needed
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- Damaged fan blades
- A motor that has burnt out
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Keep access to the fan clear
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.
What the work involves, part by part
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, so grease and wear build up together. Regular cleans help it keep going.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Kitchen extracts in Bloodden
Food Standards Agency records list about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 5 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Bloodden. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Fire safety in Bloodden falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from Canterbury City council inspect food businesses in Bloodden. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Adisham Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Commuter trade near Adisham station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of the Holy Innocents or elsewhere in Bloodden, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What happens if it’s left?
For a kitchen in Bloodden, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it so a full TR19 clean may be due. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Bloodden rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.

What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes an hour or two for most single fans, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Bloodden.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Bloodden
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Bloodden?
That is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Will you come out to Bloodden?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Bloodden included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
A clean will not mend wear. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
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.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we’ll plan the visit around them.
