Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Eastwood
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing and we clean it off. If you have a motor area thick with grease and vibration from an unbalanced impeller, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Eastwood, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we will tell you before work begins. It does not solve:
- Damaged fan blades
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Eastwood?
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. The grease that is left lands on the blades and the casing where the spinning blades spread it around.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
For schools such as Ulcombe Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What your quote should include

- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Why deal with it now?
For a kitchen in Eastwood, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. If the fan is coated, the duct before it typically is too, so it’s worth checking the whole system. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Eastwood rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.

Eastwood kitchens: local notes

Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Leeds Castle, about 3.4 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near Eastwood; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Eastwood
Is Eastwood within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Eastwood included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which fire service covers Eastwood?
Eastwood is in the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Eastwood?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before work begins.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Before and after photos go into a report, with anything we noticed. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. 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.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we’ll plan the visit around them.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
An unbalanced impeller, usually from uneven grease, is a common cause. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Visits to a village like Eastwood are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
