Great Mongeham extract fan cleaning
Our technicians work in Great Mongeham on extract fan cleaning. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.

Extract fan cleaning in Great Mongeham
Grease on a fan is not spread evenly. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. If you’re dealing with a fan shaking on its mounts and burning smells from the fan area, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Great Mongeham starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What the work involves, part by part
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Common problems we fix in Great Mongeham
A greasy fan in Great Mongeham 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.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A fan left out of previous cleans
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Martin, or anywhere in Great Mongeham, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of insurance
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
FAQs for Great Mongeham
Can sea air affect extract fan cleaning in Great Mongeham?
It can, as Great Mongeham is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. A fan housing that’s rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Which environmental health team covers Great Mongeham?
That is Dover council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Great Mongeham. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: every 3, 6 or 12 months. Some fans need attention sooner.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
It has to be off and isolated before anyone touches it. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking isn’t affected.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
Every clean has a photo report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Somewhere like Great Mongeham, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

What affects the quote in Great Mongeham
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The times the site is available
- What state the system is in
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The number of sites or systems
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. Somewhere as small as Great Mongeham, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.

Kitchen extracts in Great Mongeham
At about 3 miles from the coast, Great Mongeham is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 15 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 14 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Great Mongeham, up to about a mile and a half out. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Kitchens in Great Mongeham get their food hygiene inspections from Dover council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
