Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hales Place
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found, before signing it off. The work covers in-line fans, roof-mounted fans and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are burning smells from the fan area and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles.
For a smaller kitchen near Hales Place, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Hales Place
Is Hales Place within the area you cover?
Yes. Hales Place 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.
Which council inspects kitchens in Hales Place?
The local authority for Hales Place is Canterbury City 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.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. If a fan cannot be reached, the report says so, so you always know what was cleaned.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. In a place like Hales Place, we fit the visit around your hours.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us where we can park and unload

How the job changes from site to site
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. We clean it along with the blades.
Wall fans
Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger and the motor works harder. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Common problems we fix in Hales Place
Grease condenses as the air cools, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. So grease often settles heavily there.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A heavily greased fan housing
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Weak extraction at the canopy
Commuter trade near Canterbury West station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
