How we handle extract fan cleaning in Ebbsfleet
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 the survey shows us how to reach it. The work covers roof-mounted fans, fan housings and centrifugal fans, and people most often call us about a noisy fan that has got louder over time and a fan that no longer moves enough air.
Work in a small place like Ebbsfleet starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Listen to the fan. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.

How the job changes from site to site
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface and we check the area around the outlet. We note any grease around the fan.
Impellers and blades
The blades of the impeller do the work, and grease builds up on them unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Kitchen extracts in Ebbsfleet
The coast is only about 2 miles from Ebbsfleet. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Ebbsfleet. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Ebbsfleet sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Ramsgate General Hospital (about 2.8 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
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. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Ebbsfleet, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Move anything stored near the system

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Ebbsfleet?
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. The difference throws the impeller off balance and puts strain on the bearings. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
Clients typically contact us when they notice something like this:
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Quex Park is about 3.8 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
