How we handle extract fan cleaning in Broom Street
Not all extract fans are the same: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. The way in depends on the type, and we plan that during the survey. If you have a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and a fan that has never been cleaned, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Part by part
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A motor that has burnt out
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Discharge points
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
Why act early in Broom Street
A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Many fan problems start with grease, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Why us?
- We are fully insured

- Fixed quotes, usually within one working day
- Every job surveyed first
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. 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.

For landlords and multi-site operators
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Questions from Broom Street
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Broom Street in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Broom Street. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Which council inspects kitchens in Broom Street?
Kitchens in Broom Street are inspected by Swale council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. If a fan can’t be reached, the report says so, so the record is accurate.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
Do you cover Broom Street?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Broom Street.
Broom Street kitchens: local notes
Broom Street is within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Broom Street sits within the area of 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. Food hygiene inspections in Broom Street are the job of Swale council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital (about 5.6 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. School kitchens, at schools like Graveney Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Broom Street, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

What’s near Broom Street
Typical jobs here are in premises near South Swale and Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School, among other places. The closest station to Broom Street is Faversham station, roughly 2.1 miles south-west. A little further out are Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital (5.6 miles north-east).
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Broom Street knowing what to expect.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about parking and loading
