What a clean won’t put right

- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- An undersized fan that cannot cope

How we handle extract fan cleaning in Blue Bell Hill
In Blue Bell Hill, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. The result is photographed for your records. The work covers in-line fans, axial fans and roof-mounted fans, and people most often call us about a heavily greased fan housing and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease.
Work in a small place like Blue Bell Hill starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
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.
What happens if it’s left?
Cleaning the fan in Blue Bell Hill now is a short job: the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Waiting adds vibration, wear and a harder clean. Planning a trip to Blue Bell Hill ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.

Extract fan cleaning in Blue Bell Hill: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 15 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 14 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Blue Bell Hill. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Kitchens in Blue Bell Hill get their food hygiene inspections from Tonbridge and Malling council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Blue Bell Hill 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.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Tunbury Primary School or anywhere near Blue Bell Hill, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St. Bartholomew's Hospital is the nearest hospital to Blue Bell Hill, about 3.5 miles north.

Blue Bell Hill questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Blue Bell Hill?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Blue Bell Hill. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can a school canteen extract in Blue Bell Hill be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 10 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Blue Bell Hill. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will fit the work in.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we will book around them.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Are you accredited?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
The process
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Blue Bell Hill can be planned properly.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
