Four Throws extract fan cleaning
Our technicians work in Four Throws on extract fan cleaning. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Weak extraction at the canopy
Common problems we fix in Four Throws
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A heavily greased fan housing
For schools such as Hawkhurst Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Report rattles or humming early
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- A motor that has burnt out
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Different parts, different methods
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing after isolating them.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
Why it’s worth doing now in Four Throws
A fan clean in Four Throws does not take long: the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. With notice, the visit to Four Throws can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

Four Throws questions
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Four Throws out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Four Throws, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Can you get to a site in Four Throws?
Yes. Four Throws is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. Anything that can’t be reached is recorded, so you always know what was cleaned.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
The process
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and we clear up before we go. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Four Throws.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote

Advice
Grease, kitchens and Four Throws
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 7 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Four Throws and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Kitchens in Four Throws get their food hygiene inspections from Tunbridge Wells council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Four Throws is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Benenden Hospital is the nearest hospital to Four Throws, about 4.9 miles north-east. Where a hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Four Throws, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
