Kent · Extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning in Eddington, Kent
Extract fan cleaning for commercial sites in Eddington and across Kent. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Make sure the fan is included each time
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
Extract fan cleaning in Eddington
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? Tell us about it when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Eddington, typically within one working day. If you have vibration from an unbalanced impeller and a fan that no longer moves enough air, we can help, from axial fans, centrifugal fans and roof-mounted fans onwards.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Eddington gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.

How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Eddington.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
Advice
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- An impeller that is bent or split
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to 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 can diagnose it and quote.
Different parts, different methods
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
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.
Common problems we fix in Eddington
A fan in Eddington builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
Where a hall near Church of St Martin, or anywhere in Eddington, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether a survey comes first
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether VAT is included
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Eddington: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Eddington?
Fire safety enforcement in Eddington is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Is Eddington within the area you cover?
Yes, Eddington is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
With the fan isolated, the extract isn’t running. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. If a fan cannot be reached, the report says so, so the record is accurate.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Extract fan cleaning in Eddington: the local picture
Eddington lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 32 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Eddington. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. The fire and rescue service for Eddington is 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 Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital (about 3.2 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you cook for passing trade around Herne Bay station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
