Kent · Extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning in Goodnestone, Kent
Extract fan cleaning in Goodnestone from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan shaking on its mounts
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
When we have finished, the fan is reassembled and run. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
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.

What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Goodnestone can be planned properly.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Related advice
When to call us in Goodnestone
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan and puts strain on the bearings. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
A hospital like Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital, about 5.8 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Questions from Goodnestone
Will you come out to Goodnestone?
Yes. Goodnestone is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can sea air affect extract fan cleaning in Goodnestone?
It can. Salt air reaches Goodnestone, which is within about 3 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at each visit.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
A clean will not mend wear. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
Leave it or put it right?
A fan clean in Goodnestone does not take long: it takes an hour or two for most single fans. Waiting adds vibration, wear and a harder clean. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Why book with us
- Every job surveyed first
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- A fixed price before any work starts
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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. Leave those to us.
