How we handle extract fan cleaning in Goose Green
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. We are often asked to deal with a motor area thick with grease and a fan shaking on its mounts, across discharge points, centrifugal fans and roof-mounted fans.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Questions from Goose Green
Is Goose Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Goose Green included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which environmental health team covers Goose Green?
The local authority for Goose Green is Tonbridge and Malling council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
Cleaning removes grease, but it can’t fix worn parts. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
You get a photo report with before and after photos of the fan. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. 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, we can clean just the fan. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
What happens if it’s left?
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen can’t cook safely. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. With notice, the visit to Goose Green can be fitted around your bookings and events.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Goose Green
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Goose Green. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Kitchens in Goose Green get their food hygiene inspections from Tonbridge and Malling council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Goose Green is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Tonbridge Cottage Hospital about 5.3 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Dunstan or anywhere around Goose Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Part by part
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so the method is planned in advance. Anything out of reach is recorded.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, so grease and wear build up together. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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.
When to call us in Goose Green
A greasy fan in Goose Green is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Hadlow Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. In a small place like Goose Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s 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.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Find the previous report, if there is one
