Extract fan cleaning in Eastling, done properly
Any fan serving a kitchen in Eastling 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 vibration from an unbalanced impeller and a motor area thick with grease, across centrifugal fans, fan housings and roof-mounted fans.
Work in a small place like Eastling starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Grease, kitchens and Eastling
In Eastling, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Swale council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. About 42 miles out from central London, Eastling is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Belmont House and Gardens, about 1.4 miles east, is one of the historic houses near Eastling; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Eastling, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

What affects the quote in Eastling
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Parking and loading at the site
- The size of the system
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Damaged fan blades
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on in Eastling
- Axial fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Discharge points
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Report rattles or humming early
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Report grease escaping from the fan
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Eastling
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Different parts, different methods
Impellers and blades
Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Eastling?
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing where the spinning blades spread it around.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Eastling Primary School or anywhere near Eastling, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Eastling questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Eastling?
Food hygiene inspections in Eastling are carried out by Swale council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you work overnight in Eastling?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Eastling can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning does not, the bearings or motor may need attention.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Eastling knowing what to expect.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
