Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Never cook with a filter missing
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
What a clean will not put right
Extract fan cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A fan that will not start
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover

Extract fan cleaning around Frindsbury
Frindsbury is within about 3 miles of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency records include about 40 pubs, bars and clubs and about 4 hotels and B&Bs in and around Frindsbury, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Fire safety in Frindsbury falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.

Frindsbury: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Frindsbury?
The local authority for Frindsbury is Medway council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can a school canteen extract in Frindsbury be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 16 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Frindsbury. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Grease on the blades and housing is one of the usual causes, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. It can also be wear in the bearings or motor, which our report will flag.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Frindsbury?
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Weak extraction at the canopy
Church and community hall kitchens, near All Saints Church or anywhere around Frindsbury, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
