How we handle extract fan cleaning in Culmers
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? Tell us about it when you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Culmers, normally within one working day. If you’re dealing with fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and a fan that has never been cleaned, we can help, from centrifugal fans, discharge points and in-line fans onwards.
Somewhere as small as Culmers, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Culmers questions
Do you work in villages like Culmers?
Yes. Culmers is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Culmers in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Culmers. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Uneven grease on the impeller often causes it. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
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.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive 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 a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Culmers, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Related advice
Why act early in Culmers
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen cannot cook safely. Many fan problems start with grease, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. A planned visit to Culmers is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
Why us?
- We diagnose before we treat
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- A written report with photos after each visit
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
When to call us in Culmers
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
A hospital like Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital, about 5.5 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
What a clean won’t put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- An impeller that’s bent or split
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- In-line fans

In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
