Extract fan cleaning around Dunk's Green
Kitchens in Dunk's Green get their food hygiene inspections from Tonbridge and Malling council. 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. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Dunk's Green. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Plaxtol Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Church and community hall kitchens, near Plaxtol Church or anywhere around Dunk's Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Tonbridge Cottage Hospital is the nearest hospital to Dunk's Green, about 5.3 miles south.

Extract fan cleaning in Dunk's Green
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan, and that is what we clean. If you have a motor area thick with grease and burning smells from the fan area, we can put it right.
In a small place like Dunk's Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Part by part
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. We clean it along with the blades.
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Make sure the fan is reachable. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes an hour or two for most single fans, and we clear up before we go. In a small place like Dunk's Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

FAQs for Dunk's Green
Which fire authority looks after Dunk's Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Dunk's Green is handled by 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.
Is Dunk's Green within the area you cover?
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 does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
With the fan isolated, the extract is not running. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. File it with your other extract records.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
One easily reached fan is quick, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How we price extract fan cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The scale of the work
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
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 give you a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

- The times we could work without disrupting the site
