Extract fan cleaning in Eythorne
In Eythorne, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. If you are dealing with grease around the motor and its mounts and hot, greasy smells near the fan, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Eythorne, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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, whatever the size of the place.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Eythorne: your questions answered
Can you come to Eythorne after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Eythorne does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire authority looks after Eythorne?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Eythorne. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Eythorne?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
Allow a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. The timing of a visit to Eythorne is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Why it’s worth doing now in Eythorne
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen can’t cook safely. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
Part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface, so the outlet area is checked too. We note any grease around the fan.
Fan housings and motors
Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
Extract fan cleaning around Eythorne
Look up Eythorne on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Eythorne, up to about a mile and a half out. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Eythorne 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. It’s Dover council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Eythorne. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Goodnestone Park is about 3.6 miles north-west), access may need planning. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Buckland Hospital about 4.7 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Common problems we fix in Eythorne
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Eythorne, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Before booking anyone
- Whether VAT is included
- What paperwork you get at the end
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- File the fan’s report with your other records
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
