Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Finberry
Which council inspects kitchens in Finberry?
The local authority for Finberry is Ashford council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you work overnight in Finberry?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Finberry needn’t be disturbed. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Finberry?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before we start.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen cannot cook while we work. That’s why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Extract fan cleaning in Finberry, done properly
Any fan serving a kitchen in Finberry is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. If you have a fan left out of previous cleans and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Finberry starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What else we do in Finberry
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Finberry and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

What happens if it’s left?
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. With notice, the visit to Finberry can be fitted around your bookings and events.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
What you get with us
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- A written report with pictures after every visit
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Finberry
Grease condenses as the air cools, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. So grease often settles heavily there.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Burning smells from the fan area
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Finberry is William Harvey Hospital, about 1.9 miles north-east.
Comparing quotes
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Make sure the fan is reachable. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Part by part
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so we plan how to reach and clean them. If it cannot be reached fully, the report says so.
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, with any limits noted.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
For extract fan cleaning in Finberry, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send photos or your last report if you can. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Finberry
There are about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Finberry, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. The fire and rescue service for Finberry is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Ashford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Finberry. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
School kitchens, at schools like Finberry Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Finberry (Godinton House is about 4 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care.
