How we handle extract fan cleaning in Bredhurst
Any fan serving a kitchen in Bredhurst is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. If you have rough running from the extract fan and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Bredhurst, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Extract fan cleaning around Bredhurst

Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Environmental health officers from Maidstone council inspect food businesses in Bredhurst. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Bredhurst. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; KIMS hospital is the nearest hospital to Bredhurst, about 3.2 miles south. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Restoration House is about 5 miles north-west), access may need planning. School kitchens, at schools like Deanwood Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
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 can diagnose it and quote.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Leave a clear route to the fan
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.

What affects the quote in Bredhurst
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The scale of the work
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bredhurst
A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. A fault that closes a site in a village like Bredhurst affects everyone who depends on it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Somewhere as small as Bredhurst, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- 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.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
