Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Crockhurst Street
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. A thorough clean removes the cause. Common call-outs are for thick grease on the impeller and casing and less air being pulled from the kitchen, across discharge points, in-line fans and centrifugal fans.
Work in a small place like Crockhurst Street starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Extract fan cleaning in Crockhurst Street: the local picture
Food hygiene inspections in Crockhurst Street are the job of Tunbridge Wells council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Crockhurst Street. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Capel Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A hospital like Tonbridge Cottage Hospital, about 2.2 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
File the photo report with your other extract records. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Make sure the fan is reachable. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Crockhurst Street questions
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Crockhurst Street in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Crockhurst Street, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Is Crockhurst Street within the area you cover?
Yes, Crockhurst Street is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we will book around them.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.

What else we do in Crockhurst Street
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- An impeller that is bent or split
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Wiring faults to the fan
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on in Crockhurst Street
- Fan housings
- Axial fans
- In-line fans
- Discharge points
- Centrifugal fans
- Roof-mounted fans
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Somewhere like Crockhurst Street, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Crockhurst Street?
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Crockhurst Street as anywhere. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire, and a hot, struggling motor does not help.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Weak extraction at the canopy
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Crockhurst Street, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
