Extract fan cleaning in Chambers' Green, done properly
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. If you are dealing with grease stains around the discharge and weak extraction at the canopy, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Chambers' Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Why act early in Chambers' Green
For a kitchen in Chambers' Green, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it so a full TR19 clean may be due. With notice, the visit to Chambers' Green can be fitted around your bookings and events.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. 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. Somewhere like Chambers' Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Find the previous report, if there is one

When to call us in Chambers' Green
A fan in Chambers' Green builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A heavily greased fan housing
If you run a café or takeaway near Pluckley station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
What your quote should include
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether they’re fully insured
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What hours they’ll be on site
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Chambers' Green
The FSA’s data shows about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered in and around Chambers' Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Fire safety in Chambers' Green falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from Ashford council inspect food businesses in Chambers' Green. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Chambers' Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Pluckley Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Chambers' Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Common questions in Chambers' Green
Do you work in villages like Chambers' Green?
Yes, Chambers' Green is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work at weekends in Chambers' Green?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What information do you need?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Before and after pictures go into a report, with anything we noticed. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How long is a fan clean?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. Typically it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
