Extract fan cleaning for sites in Hall's Green

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

How we handle extract fan cleaning in Hall's Green

A clean fan is not a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. If you are dealing with a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and a fan that no longer moves enough air, we can put it right, from discharge points, axial fans and centrifugal fans onwards.

In a village or hamlet like Hall's Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.

Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Hall's Green

You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:

  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • The size of the system
  • The condition of the system
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule

We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will explain what it covers.

What we need to know

To speed up the quote, please include:

  • Your last certificate, test record or report
  • Any access panels or hatches you can see
  • Wide photos of the system and the area around it
  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room

Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Hall's Green.

  1. The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
  2. We isolate the power before opening the housing.
  3. We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
  4. Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
  5. It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking and loading
  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
  • Move anything stored near the system

How to get a quote

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Related advice

Leave it or put it right?

The fan is part of the fire path. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. A planned visit to Hall's Green is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.

Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What extract fan cleaning can’t fix

Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’ll tell you before we start. It won’t put right:

  • A faulty speed controller or isolator
  • A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
  • A dirty duct upstream of the fan

If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Hall's Green kitchens: local notes

Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Hall's Green. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Hall's Green get their food hygiene inspections from Sevenoaks council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.

Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Hall's Green is Sevenoaks Hospital, about 4.5 miles north.

Hall's Green: your questions answered

Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Hall's Green?

Fire safety enforcement in Hall's Green is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.

Which council inspects kitchens in Hall's Green?

Food hygiene inspections in Hall's Green are carried out by Sevenoaks council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.

Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?

We always isolate the fan first, so it can’t run during the clean. With the extract off, the kitchen can’t cook, so we work out of hours.

What should I send you?

Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Hall's Green?

The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.

Do you survey before quoting?

Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.

What happens if you cannot reach some of it?

They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.

How much notice should we give?

The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

Part by part

Fan housings and motors

We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.

Roof-mounted fans

Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them and we check the area around the outlet. We note any grease around the fan.
