Kitchen extracts in East Langdon
East Langdon lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across East Langdon and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. It’s Dover council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in East Langdon. 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.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to East Langdon is Royal Victoria Hospital, about 2.9 miles south-west. A kitchen near Martin Mill station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in East Langdon
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A heart under strain works harder for less. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found so you get a clean bill of health. If you’re dealing with thick grease on the impeller and casing and a fan left out of previous cleans, we can put it right, from centrifugal fans, fan housings and axial fans onwards.
In a village or hamlet like East Langdon, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

How the visit works
Your staff don’t 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 we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. For a village or hamlet like East Langdon, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Advice
What the work involves, part by part
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Long cooking hours mean more grease reaches the fan. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.

What else we do in East Langdon
What we are called out for in East Langdon
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. So grease often settles heavily there.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A motor area thick with grease
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
School kitchens, at schools like Langdon Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

East Langdon: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like East Langdon?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and East Langdon is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in East Langdon?
That’s Dover council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in East Langdon. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We can repair or replace it, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
The fan follows the full system’s interval, from every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours of cooking a day to every 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
How we price extract fan cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
