Questions from Broomfield
Is Broomfield within the area you cover?
Yes, Broomfield is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which environmental health team covers Broomfield?
Food hygiene inspections in Broomfield are carried out by Maidstone council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes, and that is how we prefer to work. The visit is timed for when the area is not in use, whether that’s late evening, overnight or a weekend.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Extract fan cleaning in Broomfield
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we will tell you, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. If you’re dealing with a fan that hums, whines or rumbles and grease escaping from the fan outlet, we can help, from discharge points, axial fans and fan housings onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
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’re fully insured.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Broomfield
Look up Broomfield on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Broomfield. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Fire safety in Broomfield falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Broomfield get their food hygiene inspections from Maidstone council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Broomfield is KIMS hospital, about 4.5 miles north-west. School kitchens, at schools like Leeds and Broomfield Church of England Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Margaret or anywhere around Broomfield, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

How the job changes from site to site
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so the method is planned in advance. Anything out of reach is recorded.
The process
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Somewhere like Broomfield, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Broomfield
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether several sites go on one quote
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
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, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Leave it or put it right?
A fan that sounds rough in Broomfield is often telling you the extract needs a clean. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it so a full TR19 clean may be due. In a small place like Broomfield, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
