About our extract fan cleaning in Detling
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a fan can also need attention on its own, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. The work covers fan housings, axial fans and in-line fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan that no longer moves enough air and a heavily greased fan housing.
Somewhere as small as Detling, 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.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from Detling
Who inspects food businesses in Detling?
Kitchens in Detling are inspected by Maidstone council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you work in villages like Detling?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Detling is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, we do. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Part by part
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
Kitchen extracts in Detling
Food Standards Agency data counts about 13 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Detling. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. The fire and rescue service for Detling is 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 Detling are the job of Maidstone council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as KIMS hospital (about 0.8 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Valley Park School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Detling (Stoneacre is about 3 miles south), fitting access panels needs care.

What’s near Detling
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around The Larches and The Cock Horse pub. For rail, the closest station is Bearsted station, roughly 1.4 miles south of the centre.

What staff can safely do
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.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Somewhere like Detling, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
