Kent · Extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning in Crouch, Kent
Specialist extract fan cleaning for Crouch: a survey, a fixed price, careful work and proper paperwork. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Crouch
If the extract fan in Crouch has become noisy, weak or greasy? Tell us about it when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and you’ll get a fixed price, normally within one working day. If you have grease stains around the discharge and thick grease on the impeller and casing, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Crouch starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why act early in Crouch
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
If you need extract fan cleaning in Crouch, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send photos or your last report if you can. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
Common questions in Crouch
Do you work at weekends in Crouch?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you get to a site in Crouch?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Which sectors do you work in?
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.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Crouch
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.

When it’s something else

- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.

Grease, kitchens and Crouch
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Crouch and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Crouch sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Crouch are the job of Swale 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.
Belmont House and Gardens, about 4.2 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Crouch; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Crouch, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Crouch, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

What we are called out for in Crouch
A greasy fan in Crouch is fuel at the end of the duct. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire, and a hot, struggling motor does not help.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Boughton-under-Blean and Dunkirk Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
