Extract fan cleaning around Clement Street
The Food Standards Agency lists about 8 pubs and bars as registered food businesses across Clement Street and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Kitchens in Clement Street get their food hygiene inspections from Dartford council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Clement Street. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
School kitchens, at schools like Sutton-At-Hone Church of England Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Historic houses near Clement Street, such as Hall Place and Gardens about 3.3 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Extract fan cleaning in Clement Street, done properly
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing, and that is what we clean. We are often asked to deal with weak extraction at the canopy and vibration from an unbalanced impeller, across in-line fans, discharge points and fan housings.
In a village or hamlet like Clement Street, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What happens on the day
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Clement Street.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice
Clement Street: your questions answered
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Clement Street in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 7 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Clement Street. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like Clement Street?
Yes, Clement Street is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
It has to be off and isolated before anyone touches it. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking is not affected.
Do we need to close while you work?
Normally not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
Allow an hour or two for most single fans. Your quote will give an idea.
What affects the quote in Clement Street
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Parking and loading at the site
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What we are called out for in Clement Street
A greasy fan in Clement Street is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A heavily greased fan housing
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan that has never been cleaned
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as West Hill Hospital (about 2.2 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What to look for in a quote
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the quote shows VAT
For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.

What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we will tell you before any work starts. It doesn’t solve:
- Wiring faults to the fan
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
- Axial fans
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: cracks, bent blades or wear. We note any concerns.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them, so the outlet area is checked too. We note any grease around the fan.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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 they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
