How we handle extract fan cleaning in Felderland
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look, before signing it off. The work covers roof-mounted fans, fan housings and centrifugal fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan that has never been cleaned and grease escaping from the fan outlet.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
Felderland kitchens: local notes
Felderland lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency records include about 5 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Felderland. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. It’s Dover council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Felderland. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Felderland, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Historic houses near Felderland, such as Goodnestone Park about 4.7 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Felderland questions
Does the sea air around Felderland make a difference to extract fan cleaning?
Yes, to a degree: at about 3 miles from the coast, Felderland gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Can you come to Felderland after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Felderland does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you work in Felderland?
Yes. Felderland is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

What the work involves, part by part
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing, once they’re isolated.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Regular cleans help it keep going.
