Extract Fan Cleaning in Burlings
Our technicians work in Burlings on extract fan cleaning. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Keep access to the fan clear
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Burlings
We’ve been trading since 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. Common call-outs are for a fan shaking on its mounts and a fan coated in grease inside its housing, on roof-mounted fans, in-line fans and discharge points.
In a small place like Burlings, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Burlings run smoothly.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear the space around the work

Burlings: your questions answered
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Burlings?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Burlings. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you get to a site in Burlings?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Burlings is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Burlings?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
What information do you need?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Burlings?
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A motor area thick with grease
Down House, about 2.2 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near Burlings; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether VAT is included
What the work involves, part by part
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: chips, distortion or wear. We note any concerns.
Leave it or put it right?
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure and a kitchen cannot cook safely without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. If the system at a site near Burlings fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Why book with us
- Every job surveyed first
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Every visit written up, with pictures
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Burlings
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Burlings. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Kitchens in Burlings get their food hygiene inspections from Sevenoaks council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Burlings falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Katharine's Church, or anywhere in Burlings, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Orpington Hospital is the nearest hospital to Burlings, about 3.6 miles north.
