Extract fan cleaning in Farleigh Green
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. The work covers roof-mounted fans, discharge points and centrifugal fans, and common reasons people get in touch are rough running from the extract fan and a smell of hot grease from the extract.
In a small place like Farleigh Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Kitchen extracts in Farleigh Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 10 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Farleigh Green. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Maidstone council inspect food businesses in Farleigh Green. 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. Fire safety in Farleigh Green falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Where a hall near All Saints Church, or anywhere in Farleigh Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. School kitchens, at schools like East Farleigh Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Oakwood Hospital (about 1.6 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Farleigh Green is about 3 miles south-west of Maidstone, in Kent. Whatever kind of site you run in Farleigh Green, we can take on extract fan cleaning.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Farleigh Green
Can you come to Farleigh Green after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Farleigh Green needn’t be disturbed. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Farleigh Green?
In Farleigh Green, it’s Maidstone council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
A common cause is grease. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning doesn’t, the bearings or motor may need attention.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Why it’s worth doing now in Farleigh Green
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. Planning a trip to Farleigh Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What you get with us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

- Full insurance on every job

How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Farleigh Green.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear loose items from the work area

Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Report rattles or humming early
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
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.
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.
Different parts, different methods
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing, once they’re isolated.
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. We clean it along with the blades.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Farleigh Green and across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
