Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
About our extract fan cleaning in Blue Town
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? Tell us about it when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Blue Town, normally within one working day. If you’re dealing with a fan left out of previous cleans and a smell of hot grease from the extract, we can put it right.
Kitchens around a place like Blue Town are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
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.
Kitchen extracts in Blue Town
Blue Town is within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 15 pubs, bars and clubs across Blue Town and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. In Blue Town, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Swale council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run a café or takeaway near Sheerness-On-Sea station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. School kitchens, at schools like St Edward's Catholic Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Parish Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Blue Town, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Work in ME12 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. That includes premises on New Road, Kent Road and West Lane and the roads around them.

Leave it or put it right?
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller doesn’t stay small. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown and a kitchen can’t cook safely without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. A site near Blue Town that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Visits to a place like Blue Town are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

How we price extract fan cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Parking and loading at the site
- The size of the system
- The condition we find in the survey
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Common questions in Blue Town
Which environmental health team covers Blue Town?
Food hygiene inspections in Blue Town are carried out by Swale council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can school kitchens in Blue Town be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 10 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Blue Town. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll fit the work in.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
Cleaning removes grease, but it can’t fix worn parts. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Part by part
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
What a clean won’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- Damaged fan blades
- A motor that has burnt out
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
