How we handle extract fan cleaning in Durrant Green
Any fan serving a kitchen in Durrant Green is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. Common call-outs are for less air being pulled from the kitchen and grease stains around the discharge, on centrifugal fans, axial fans and fan housings.
In a small place like Durrant 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Extract fan cleaning around Durrant Green
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Durrant Green. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Durrant Green sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. 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. In Durrant Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Ashford council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Benenden Hospital (about 3.4 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Michael or elsewhere in Durrant Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Smallhythe Place is about 4.3 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Report rattles or humming early
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits, and we clear up before we go. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Durrant Green, let us know and we will plan around it.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area

Leave it or put it right?
A fan that sounds rough in Durrant Green is often telling you the extract needs a clean. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it, so it’s worth checking the whole system. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.

For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Durrant Green: your questions answered
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Durrant Green?
Durrant Green is in the area of 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.
Do you work overnight in Durrant Green?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Durrant Green needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
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.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, we can clean just the fan. That helps when the fan needs attention before the next full clean, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.
How long is a fan clean?
One easily reached fan is quick, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. We plan it out of hours.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
