Extract Fan Cleaning in Golden Green
Looking for extract fan cleaning in Golden Green? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, then sign off with a report and pictures.
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
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.
About our extract fan cleaning in Golden Green
Not all extract fans are the same: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. Common call-outs are for a fan shaking on its mounts and grease around the motor and its mounts, across discharge points, in-line fans and roof-mounted fans.
Somewhere as small as Golden Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Golden Green?
How fast a fan gets greasy in Golden Green depends on the cooking: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Hadlow Primary School or anywhere near Golden Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Golden Green: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Golden Green?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Golden Green. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Golden Green?
Kitchens in Golden Green are inspected by Tonbridge and Malling council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum in BESA guidance. At the extremes, that is 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How long is a fan clean?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. As a guide, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Golden Green
Look up Golden Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Golden Green. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Food hygiene inspections in Golden Green are the job of Tonbridge and Malling council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Golden Green falls to 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.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.

The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Golden Green can be planned properly.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
