FAQs for Brenchley
Is Brenchley within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Brenchley included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who inspects food businesses in Brenchley?
In Brenchley, it’s Tunbridge Wells council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
It has to be off and isolated, for safety. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking is not affected.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
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 cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.

What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Brenchley.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.

- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Different parts, different methods
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, so grease and wear build up together. Regular cleans help it keep going.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing after isolating them.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Leave a clear route to the fan
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Grease, kitchens and Brenchley
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Brenchley. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Brenchley is covered by 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. Kitchens in Brenchley get their food hygiene inspections from Tunbridge Wells council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Scotney Castle is about 4.1 miles south), access may need planning. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Tunbridge Wells Hospital is the nearest hospital to Brenchley, about 3.9 miles west. Where a hall near Parish Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Brenchley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
