What affects the quote in Fosten Green
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Travel, parking and unloading
- What state the system is in
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 work begins.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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 work begins.

Extract fan cleaning in Fosten Green: the local picture
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Fosten Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. The fire and rescue service for Fosten 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. It’s Ashford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Fosten Green. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Where a hall near St Margaret's Church, or anywhere in Fosten Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Fosten Green: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Fosten Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Fosten Green are carried out by Ashford council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you come to Fosten Green after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Fosten Green needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
We always isolate the fan first, so it cannot run during the clean. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
Is Fosten Green in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Fosten Green included.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Keep access to the fan clear
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. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Fosten Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Common problems we fix in Fosten Green
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. The grease that is left lands on the blades and the casing where the spinning blades spread it around.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Burning smells from the fan area
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Benenden Hospital (about 0.9 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What your quote should include
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether VAT is included
For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Part by part
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. That’s what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
