Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Five Oak Green
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. A thorough clean removes the cause. The work covers axial fans, centrifugal fans and roof-mounted fans, and common reasons people get in touch are rough running from the extract fan and weak extraction at the canopy.
Work in a small place like Five Oak Green 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Five Oak Green
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The scale of the work
- How many systems or sites are involved
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
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.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Somewhere like Five Oak Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Common problems we fix in Five Oak Green
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. The grease that’s left lands on the blades and the casing where the spinning blades spread it around.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
School kitchens, at schools like Capel Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you get at the end
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- When the next visit should be, and why
Why deal with it now?
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. It’s simpler to plan the work at Five Oak Green now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Why Five Oak Green businesses choose us
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Trading since 2009
- A fixed price before any work starts

Kitchen extracts in Five Oak Green

Common questions in Five Oak Green
Do you work at weekends in Five Oak Green?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Five Oak Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire authority looks after Five Oak Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Five Oak Green is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum in BESA guidance. At the extremes, that’s 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
We don’t 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.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
The fan must be isolated, for safety. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking isn’t affected.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t put right:
- A motor that has burnt out
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
