Extract fan cleaning in Hearnden Green, done properly
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing, and that is what we clean. If you have a noisy fan that has got louder over time and grease stains around the discharge, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Hearnden Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually 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.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Hearnden Green, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear loose items from the work area

Hearnden Green questions
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Hearnden Green during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Hearnden Green. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will fit the work in.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Hearnden Green?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Hearnden Green. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Is Hearnden Green in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Hearnden Green.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
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.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
A clean will not mend wear. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.

Why act early in Hearnden Green
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger, while the motor runs under more strain. With notice, the visit to Hearnden Green can be fitted around your bookings and events.

Hearnden Green kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 5 pubs and bars in and around Hearnden Green, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. In Hearnden Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Maidstone council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Hearnden Green is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.

Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Report rattles or humming early
- Keep records of every fan clean
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Make sure the fan is reachable. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
