Extract fan cleaning for sites in Coursehorn

What your team can do, and what needs 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.

Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Coursehorn

Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. We’re often asked to deal with an extract fan with no cleaning record and grease stains around the discharge, on roof-mounted fans, in-line fans and centrifugal fans.

For a kitchen in or near Coursehorn, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.

Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Why it’s worth doing now in Coursehorn

Vibration from an unbalanced impeller does not stay small. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. Somewhere as small as Coursehorn, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.

Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

Keeping the system healthy

Once we have finished, these simple steps help:

  • Make sure the fan is included each time
  • Notice when the fan starts to sound different
  • File the fan’s report with your other records
  • Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point

We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.

Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.

Kitchen extracts in Coursehorn

The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 9 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 4 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Coursehorn. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Food hygiene inspections in Coursehorn are the job of Tunbridge Wells council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Coursehorn sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.

For schools such as Cranbrook School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hospital like Benenden Hospital, about 2.8 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Dunstan, or anywhere in Coursehorn, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Coursehorn is about 12 miles south of Maidstone, in Kent. Whatever kind of site you run in Coursehorn, extract fan cleaning is something we can help with.

Different parts, different methods

Impellers and blades

While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: cracks, bent blades or wear. We note any concerns.

Wall fans

A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.

The process

Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Visits to a village like Coursehorn are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.

  1. We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
  2. Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
  3. The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
  4. Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
  5. We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.

How to prepare

  • Clear loose items from the work area
  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

How to get a quote

We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Multi-site and managed buildings

If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.

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.

Honest limits

An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:

  • Wiring faults to the fan
  • An impeller that’s bent or split
  • Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)

Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.

What the work covers

  • In-line fans
  • Axial fans
  • Discharge points
  • Roof-mounted fans
  • Fan housings
  • Centrifugal fans
