Extract fan cleaning in Eynsford, Kent
Specialist extract fan cleaning for Eynsford: diagnosis first, then a fixed quote, the work and a report with photos. Call for a fixed quote.
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes an hour or two for most single fans, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Somewhere like Eynsford, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

How we handle extract fan cleaning in Eynsford
In Eynsford, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. The result is photographed for your records. If you have grease escaping from the fan outlet and an extract fan with no cleaning record, we can help, from axial fans, in-line fans and roof-mounted fans onwards.
In a small place like Eynsford, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Long cooking hours mean more grease reaches the fan. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.
Eynsford: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Eynsford?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which council inspects kitchens in Eynsford?
In Eynsford, it’s Sevenoaks council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, where it makes sense. We will often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan normally means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. File it with your other extract records.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. 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.
Why deal with it now?
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger, while the motor runs under more strain. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
