Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Farthing Green
Which fire service covers Farthing Green?
That’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Which environmental health team covers Farthing Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Farthing Green are carried out by Maidstone council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you work in Farthing Green?
Yes. Our technicians work in Farthing Green, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
We also repair and replace extract fans. If we find wear or damage, we will explain it and send you a fixed quote.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
With the fan isolated, the extract isn’t running. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
About our extract fan cleaning in Farthing Green
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? Tell us about it when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and you’ll get a fixed price, usually within one working day. If you’re dealing with a fan that no longer moves enough air and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease, we can help, from centrifugal fans, fan housings and in-line fans onwards.
In a small place like Farthing Green, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Farthing Green and across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
If you look after several sites, 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.
The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Farthing Green can be planned properly.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Farthing Green
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Any permits to work or inductions
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Why deal with it now?
The fan is part of the fire path. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. In a small place like Farthing Green, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Grease, kitchens and Farthing Green
About 37 miles out from central London, Farthing Green is part of the South East area we work across. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. The fire and rescue service for Farthing Green is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
A TR19® clean in Farthing Green doesn’t stop at the filters: the plenum, ductwork, fan and discharge are cleaned too.
Farthing Green is about 6 miles south-east of Maidstone, in Kent. Wherever you are in the TN12 postcode area, we can carry out extract fan cleaning at your premises.

When to call us in Farthing Green
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A heavily greased fan housing
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Farthing Green (Stoneacre is about 4.4 miles north), fitting access panels needs care.
Comparing quotes
- What insurance they carry
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Make sure the fan is included each time
File the photo report with your other extract records. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
