Extract fan cleaning in Hampton, Kent
Extract fan cleaning for Hampton, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.

- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hampton
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan, and that is what we clean. Common call-outs are for burning smells from the fan area and an extract fan with no cleaning record, across axial fans, centrifugal fans and in-line fans.
For a smaller kitchen near Hampton, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan cleaning won’t do:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on in Hampton

Why deal with it now?
The fan is part of the fire path. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. In a smaller place like Hampton, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Tell us when your site near Hampton is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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.
Advice
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Report rattles or humming early
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.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
What affects the quote in Hampton
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How many systems or sites are involved
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Grease, kitchens and Hampton
The coast is only about 1 mile from Hampton. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Look up Hampton on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 78 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 25 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hampton. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. The fire and rescue service for Hampton is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Hampton Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. A hospital like Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital, about 2.2 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Where a hall near St Andrew's Church, or anywhere in Hampton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Hampton is about 2 miles west of Herne Bay, in Kent. Sites in Hampton get the same service as everywhere we cover: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos. Our Kent coverage runs to 922 places, and Hampton is one of them. For sites nearby, see our Maidstone page (26 miles or so).

We also work in nearby towns such as Canterbury (6 miles south), Margate (12 miles east), Ramsgate (14 miles east), Broadstairs (14 miles east), Faversham (10 miles south-west) and Minster (13 miles west).

Common questions in Hampton
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Hampton out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 10 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Hampton. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Does coastal air change anything about extract fan cleaning in Hampton?
Yes, to a degree: at about 1 mile from the coast, Hampton gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
The fan must be isolated, for safety. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking is not affected.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
What information do you need?
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 phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, it should be. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
