Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Egerton
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan, and that’s what we clean. The work covers in-line fans, roof-mounted fans and axial fans, and common reasons people get in touch are thick grease on the impeller and casing and less air being pulled from the kitchen.
In a village or hamlet like Egerton, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. For a village or hamlet like Egerton, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Grease, kitchens and Egerton
Food hygiene inspections in Egerton are the job of Ashford council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. About 41 miles out from central London, Egerton is part of the South East area we work across. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
For schools such as Egerton Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St James, or anywhere in Egerton, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
Fan housings and motors
Motors and their electrics are kept dry and treated with care, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so we clean what we safely can.

What else we do in Egerton
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Questions from Egerton
Will you come out to Egerton?
Yes, Egerton is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you work in Egerton outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Egerton keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
The fan must be isolated before anyone touches it. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking is not affected.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. If a fan cannot be reached, the report says so, so the record is accurate.
Why it’s worth doing now in Egerton
For a kitchen in Egerton, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it so a full TR19 clean may be due. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
