FAQs for East Peckham
Do you cover smaller places like East Peckham?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and East Peckham is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you work in East Peckham outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in East Peckham keeps running as normal. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. File it with your other extract records.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum in BESA guidance. At the extremes, that’s 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself isn’t 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 TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Extract fan cleaning in East Peckham
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, 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 centrifugal fans, roof-mounted fans and axial fans, and people most often call us about a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and a fan left out of previous cleans.
For a kitchen in or near East Peckham, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What happens if it’s left?
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. If the system at a site near East Peckham fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Kitchen extracts in East Peckham
There are about 8 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of East Peckham, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. East Peckham sits within the area of 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 East Peckham are the job of Tonbridge and Malling council’s environmental health team. 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.
Historic houses near East Peckham, such as Old Soar Manor about 4.5 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. School kitchens, at schools like East Peckham Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Check filters are seated before cooking
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
How the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: cracks, bent blades or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to East Peckham and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us where we can park and unload

What we are called out for in East Peckham
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in East Peckham as anywhere. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A motor area thick with grease
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
Where a hall near Church of the Holy Trinity, or anywhere in East Peckham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
