Extract fan cleaning in Green Street Green, done properly
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but a fan can also need attention on its own, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. We’re often asked to deal with a fan that has never been cleaned and a fan shaking on its mounts, on in-line fans, roof-mounted fans and axial fans.
Work in a small place like Green Street Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Listen to the fan. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Extract fan cleaning in Green Street Green: the local picture
Look up Green Street Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 10 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 8 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Green Street Green, 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. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Green Street Green. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Green Street Green get their food hygiene inspections from Dartford council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.

How the job changes from site to site
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Green Street Green run smoothly.
- 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.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What affects the quote in Green Street Green
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Parking and loading at the site
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition we find in the survey
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
FAQs for Green Street Green
Can school kitchens in Green Street Green be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Green Street Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 4 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you come to Green Street Green after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Green Street Green needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. That helps when the fan needs attention before the next full clean, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Cleaning removes grease, but it cannot fix worn parts. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Are you accredited?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Green Street Green?
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A motor area thick with grease
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Darent Valley Hospital is the nearest hospital to Green Street Green, about 1.7 miles north-west.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
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.
