Curteis' Corner questions
Which environmental health team covers Curteis' Corner?
That’s Ashford council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Curteis' Corner. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you get to a site in Curteis' Corner?
Yes. Curteis' Corner is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
How long is a fan clean?
A single accessible fan doesn’t take long, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we’ll plan the visit around them.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Extract fan cleaning in Curteis' Corner, done properly
Grease on a fan is not spread evenly. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. We are often asked to deal with a fan coated in grease inside its housing and less air being pulled from the kitchen, on centrifugal fans, axial fans and discharge points.
Somewhere as small as Curteis' Corner, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How big the system is
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Kitchen extracts in Curteis' Corner
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Curteis' Corner, up to about a mile and a half out. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Kitchens in Curteis' Corner get their food hygiene inspections from Ashford council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Curteis' Corner is 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Parish Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Curteis' Corner, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. School kitchens, at schools like John Mayne Church of England Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

How the job changes from site to site
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so we plan how to reach and clean them. Anything out of reach is recorded.
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. We clean them where they can be safely reached, with any limits noted.
What we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Curteis' Corner and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Damaged fan blades
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
- In-line fans
- Axial fans
- Centrifugal fans
What happens if it’s left?
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller does not stay small. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown and a kitchen can’t cook safely without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. A fault that closes a site in a village like Curteis' Corner affects everyone who depends on it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Why us?
- Full insurance on every job
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Every visit written up, with pictures
When to call us in Curteis' Corner
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Curteis' Corner as anywhere. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it and an overworked motor runs hotter.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Benenden Hospital about 3 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
