Extract Fan Cleaning in Bossingham
Extract fan cleaning for Bossingham and the surrounding area: diagnosis first, then a fixed quote, the work and a report with pictures. Call for a fixed quote.
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Burning smells from the fan area
Why deal with it now?
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure and a kitchen can’t cook safely without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Bossingham is calmer for everyone.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Why book with us
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- In business since 2009

How we handle extract fan cleaning in Bossingham
Not all extract fans are the same: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. If you have a smell of hot grease from the extract and less air being pulled from the kitchen, we can help, from centrifugal fans, in-line fans and discharge points onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Bossingham, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
When to call us in Bossingham
How fast a fan gets greasy in Bossingham depends on the cooking: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Grease stains around the discharge
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Bossingham (Acrise Place is about 4.9 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.
What your quote should include
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What records you will receive afterwards
- When the next visit should be, and why
What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Bossingham, let us know and we will plan around it.
- 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.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Questions from Bossingham
Which environmental health team covers Bossingham?
In Bossingham, it’s Canterbury City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you work in villages like Bossingham?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Bossingham is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Before and after pictures go into a report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Typically not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
What a clean will not put right
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover

How we price extract fan cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Extract fan cleaning around Bossingham
Bossingham is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Bossingham are the job of Canterbury City council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
For schools such as Stelling Minnis Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Bossingham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
