Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Fawkham Green
Not all extract fans are the same: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. We are often asked to deal with burning smells from the fan area and a fan coated in grease inside its housing, across centrifugal fans, axial fans and in-line fans.
For a kitchen in or near Fawkham Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Fawkham Green run smoothly.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Fawkham Green
The FSA’s data shows about 6 pubs, bars and clubs registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Fawkham Green. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Environmental health officers from Sevenoaks council inspect food businesses in Fawkham Green. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Fawkham Green falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Lullingstone Castle is about 3.6 miles west), access may need planning. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Darent Valley Hospital about 4.9 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Where a hall near Parish Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, or anywhere in Fawkham Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

FAQs for Fawkham Green
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Fawkham Green?
The local authority for Fawkham Green is Sevenoaks council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you come to Fawkham Green after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Fawkham Green needn’t be disturbed. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do you cover Fawkham Green?
Yes. Our technicians work in Fawkham Green, within the South East and London area we cover.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, if the fan needs it. We will often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan normally means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- Damaged fan blades
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The number of sites or systems
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
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.
Listen to the fan. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
How the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them and we check the area around the outlet. We note any grease around the fan.
