Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Buttsole
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. If you have thick grease on the impeller and casing and rough running from the extract fan, we can put it right, from centrifugal fans, axial fans and fan housings onwards.
In a small place like Buttsole, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, 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. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Kitchen extracts in Buttsole
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Buttsole. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. It’s Dover council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Buttsole. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Buttsole is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
School kitchens, at schools like Eastry Church of England Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Goodnestone Park is about 3.5 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

When to call us in Buttsole
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan, wearing bearings and mounts. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Rough running from the extract fan
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Buttsole, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The scale of the work
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How easy every part is to reach
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The postcode and the type of business
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. The timing of a visit to Buttsole is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- 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
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Common questions in Buttsole
Will you come out to Buttsole?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Buttsole is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work at weekends in Buttsole?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Buttsole can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll normally reply within one working day.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, it should be. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What staff can safely do
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. Leave those to us.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
