What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
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, which is where we come in.
Extract fan cleaning in Frinsted
If the extract fan in Frinsted has become noisy, weak or greasy? Tell us about it when you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and you will get a fixed price, normally within one working day. If you’re dealing with a motor area thick with grease and weak extraction at the canopy, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Frinsted, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How we price extract fan cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Parking and loading at the site
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The size of the system
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Grease, kitchens and Frinsted
We cover Frinsted, about 37 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. It’s Maidstone council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Frinsted. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Leeds Castle is about 4 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Giles or elsewhere in Frinsted, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Frinsted is about 4 miles south of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Whether your site is in the middle of Frinsted or further out, we cover extract fan cleaning for every kind of premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Frinsted is one of 922 places in Kent we cover for extract fan cleaning. There’s also a page for Maidstone, roughly 8 miles from Frinsted.
Work in ME9 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. If you need extract fan cleaning at premises on The Street, Bottom Pond Road and Dray's Field or anywhere close by, our technicians can take on the work. If your site is just outside Frinsted, we cover Milstead (1 mile north-east), Hollybushes (2 miles east), Bluetown (2 miles east), Wichling (2 miles east) and West Street (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Maidstone (8 miles west), Ashford (12 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (4 miles north), Whitstable (15 miles east), Faversham (8 miles east) and Minster (10 miles north-east).
What’s near Frinsted
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around The Blacksmith's Arms Public House, among other places. Frinsted’s nearest station is Harrietsham station, about 3 miles south-west of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Leeds Castle (4 miles south-west) and Laundry Museum (3.8 miles south-west).
Why it’s worth doing now in Frinsted
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Somewhere as small as Frinsted, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Frinsted and across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Questions from Frinsted
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Frinsted?
Kitchens in Frinsted are inspected by Maidstone council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Frinsted?
That is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
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.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
A common cause is grease. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. File it with your other extract records.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, if the fan needs it. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Frinsted?
A greasy fan in Frinsted is fuel at the end of the duct. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A motor area thick with grease
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
For schools such as Milstead and Frinsted Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Part by part
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. We clean it along with the blades.
How the visit works
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Frinsted, let us know and we will plan around it.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
