Extract fan cleaning in East Farleigh
We’ve been trading since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. We are often asked to deal with a smell of hot grease from the extract and rough running from the extract fan, on centrifugal fans, in-line fans and axial fans.
In a small place like East Farleigh, 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.

Grease, kitchens and East Farleigh
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 12 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of East Farleigh. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Maidstone council inspect food businesses in East Farleigh. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. East Farleigh is covered by 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.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to East Farleigh is Oakwood Hospital, about 1.2 miles north. For kitchens close to East Farleigh station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of Saint Mary or elsewhere in East Farleigh, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: chips, distortion or wear. We note any concerns.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Why it’s worth doing now in East Farleigh
A fan clean in East Farleigh does not take long: it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in East Farleigh
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in East Farleigh in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 13 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of East Farleigh, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will fit the work in.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for East Farleigh?
Fire safety enforcement in East Farleigh is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. If a fan can’t be reached, the report says so, so the record is accurate.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
You get a photo report with before and after photos of the fan. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
A clean will not mend wear. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like East Farleigh.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Get a fixed quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What a clean won’t put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- An impeller that is bent or split
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before booking.
