What we are called out for in East Stourmouth
How fast a fan gets greasy in East Stourmouth depends on the cooking: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
Historic houses near East Stourmouth, such as Quex Park about 4.7 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Extract fan cleaning in East Stourmouth, done properly
Not all extract fans are the same: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. Each is isolated and opened in its own way, and we plan that during the survey. The work covers in-line fans, discharge points and centrifugal fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan left out of previous cleans and weak extraction at the canopy.
In a village or hamlet like East Stourmouth, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What else we do in East Stourmouth
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
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.
East Stourmouth: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for East Stourmouth?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers East Stourmouth. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work overnight in East Stourmouth?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, we can clean just the fan. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Uneven grease on the impeller often causes it. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in East Stourmouth
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- What state the system is in
- The times the site is available
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether several sites go on one quote
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 unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet

The process
Your staff do not 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. Somewhere as small as East Stourmouth, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
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.
