Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Godinton
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A heart under strain works harder for less. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found so you get a clean bill of health. If you have hot, greasy smells near the fan and a fan that has never been cleaned, we can help.
For a smaller kitchen near Godinton, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the job changes from site to site
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Everything the job in Godinton needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How big the system is
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition of the system
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

What a clean will not put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- Damaged fan blades
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Godinton
Look up Godinton on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 92 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 28 takeaways and sandwich shops in Godinton 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. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Godinton. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from Ashford council inspect food businesses in Godinton. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; William Harvey Hospital is the nearest hospital to Godinton, about 3 miles east. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Godinton House is about 0.8 miles north-west), access may need planning. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Godinton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Why it’s worth doing now in Godinton
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. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Godinton: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Godinton?
The local authority for Godinton is Ashford council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.

Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
We always isolate the fan first, so it can’t start while we work. With the extract off, the kitchen cannot cook, so we work out of hours.
