Extract fan cleaning in Hazel Street
If the extract fan in Hazel Street has become noisy, weak or greasy? A few details or a photo help when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and you’ll get a fixed price, typically within one working day. Typical jobs include a motor area thick with grease and hot, greasy smells near the fan, on fan housings, centrifugal fans and discharge points.
For a kitchen in or near Hazel Street, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, 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.

Common problems we fix in Hazel Street
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.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Tunbridge Wells Hospital about 5.1 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Why act early in Hazel Street
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. It’s simpler to plan the work at Hazel Street now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Extract fan cleaning around Hazel Street
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Hazel Street, 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. The fire and rescue service for Hazel Street is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Hazel Street, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tunbridge Wells 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Margaret or anywhere around Hazel Street, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Horsmonden Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Visits to a village like Hazel Street are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.

Common questions in Hazel Street
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Hazel Street out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Hazel Street. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Is Hazel Street within the area you cover?
Yes, Hazel Street is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- A fan that will not start
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

What the work involves, part by part
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.
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. We clean it along with the blades.
