Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Eastry
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. The work covers discharge points, axial fans and in-line fans, and the jobs we see most are an extract fan with no cleaning record and grease around the motor and its mounts.
For a smaller kitchen near Eastry, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Kitchen extracts in Eastry
There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Eastry, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Fire safety in Eastry falls to 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 Eastry are the job of Dover council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or anywhere around Eastry, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Goodnestone Park is about 3.4 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Eastry Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Eastry
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Parking and loading at the site
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Never cook with a filter missing
File the photo report with your other extract records. 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.
The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. A site near Eastry normally has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
FAQs for Eastry
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Eastry?
In Eastry, it’s Dover council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Eastry?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Eastry. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. File it with your other extract records.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
What the work involves, part by part
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. We get to them through the duct or casing, once they’re isolated.
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan cleaning won’t do:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on in Eastry
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
- In-line fans
- Fan housings

Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
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 pictures, so records stay tidy.
