Extract Fan Cleaning in Egerton Forstal
One call covers extract fan cleaning in Egerton Forstal, from survey to sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
What the work involves, part by part
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them and we check the area around the outlet. We note any grease around the fan.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Egerton Forstal
In Egerton Forstal, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: 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. If you’re dealing with a fan shaking on its mounts and less air being pulled from the kitchen, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Egerton Forstal, 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.

How the visit works
We turn up 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 before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Somewhere like Egerton Forstal, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear the space around the work
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

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 need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
How we price extract fan cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Egerton Forstal questions
Which fire authority looks after Egerton Forstal?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Egerton Forstal. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Will you come out to Egerton Forstal?
Yes, Egerton Forstal is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, because it unbalances the fan. It can also be wear in the bearings or motor, which our report will flag.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Fan repair and replacement is part of what we do. If cleaning shows a worn motor, bearings or impeller, we will tell you and quote for the repair.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, it should be. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Report rattles or humming early
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Make sure the fan is included each time
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Make sure the fan is reachable. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
