About our extract fan cleaning in Cheeseman's Green
A clean fan isn’t a repaired fan. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we’ll tell you, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. The work covers axial fans, discharge points and fan housings, and common reasons people get in touch are grease stains around the discharge and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease.
For a kitchen in or near Cheeseman's Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Cheeseman's Green
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The times the site is available
- What state the system is in
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- A few general shots of the system
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Cheeseman's Green.
- 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.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Cheeseman's Green
Will you come out to Cheeseman's Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which council inspects kitchens in Cheeseman's Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Cheeseman's Green are carried out by Ashford council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, where it makes sense. We will often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan usually means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so the site doesn’t lose a service.
How long is a fan clean?
A single accessible fan doesn’t take long, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
A common cause is grease. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning does not, the bearings or motor may need attention.

What else we do in Cheeseman's Green
Different parts, different methods
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: cracks, bent blades or wear. We note any concerns.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- File the fan’s report with your other records
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Centrifugal fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- In-line fans
- Discharge points
- Axial fans
- Fan housings
What we are called out for in Cheeseman's Green
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. The grease that is left lands on the blades and the casing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Cheeseman's Green is William Harvey Hospital, about 2.1 miles north.
What your quote should include
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether a survey comes first

Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Food hygiene inspections in Cheeseman's Green are the job of Ashford council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
