Extract fan cleaning in Burmarsh: the local picture
Sea air reaches Burmarsh, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Burmarsh. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Burmarsh sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Historic houses near Burmarsh, such as Westenhanger Castle about 3.5 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- An impeller that is bent or split
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
Different parts, different methods
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, with any limits noted.
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. We get to them through the duct or casing after isolating them.
Burmarsh questions
Do you cover smaller places like Burmarsh?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which environmental health team covers Burmarsh?
Kitchens in Burmarsh are inspected by Folkestone and Hythe council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Report rattles or humming early
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
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.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes an hour or two for most single fans, and we clear up before we go. Visits to a village like Burmarsh are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Advice
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The scale of the work
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Burmarsh
Grease condenses as the air cools, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. So grease often settles heavily there.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A motor area thick with grease
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Burmarsh, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Before you book anyone
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What insurance they carry
