Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Broadstone
Is Broadstone within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Broadstone included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Broadstone?
Food hygiene inspections in Broadstone are carried out by Maidstone council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Broadstone
Grease on a fan is not spread evenly. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. Typical jobs include a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and vibration from an unbalanced impeller, across fan housings, in-line fans and centrifugal fans.
Somewhere as small as Broadstone, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Somewhere like Broadstone, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Axial fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- Discharge points
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
Why deal with it now?
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. A planned visit to Broadstone is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What you get with us
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- File the fan’s report with your other records
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
What we’re called out for in Broadstone
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
Historic houses near Broadstone, such as Leeds Castle about 3.7 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
