Extract fan cleaning in Davington, done properly
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A heart under strain works harder for less. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look so you get a clean bill of health. Common call-outs are for a fan coated in grease inside its housing and a smell of hot grease from the extract, on discharge points, roof-mounted fans and axial fans.
Kitchens around a place like Davington are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Wiring faults to the fan
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
- Fan housings

Why it’s worth doing now in Davington
The fan is part of the fire path. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

Questions from Davington
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Davington?
That is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Who inspects food businesses in Davington?
Kitchens in Davington are inspected by Swale council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
It has to be off and isolated, for safety. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking isn’t affected.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum, under BESA guidance. At the extremes, that is 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Normally not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, it should be. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
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. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. We plan the journey to Davington and bring what the job is likely to need.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Move anything stored near the system

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
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. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The site address and the type of premises
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Need a price for extract fan cleaning? Please give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with a few details about the site. We’ll talk you through the work and send you a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
Part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface and we check the area around the outlet. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
Davington kitchens: local notes
Sea air reaches Davington, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 47 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 14 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Davington, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Fire safety in Davington falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
