How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. We plan the journey to High Brooms and bring what the job is likely to need.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Around a smaller place like High Brooms, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.

Different parts, different methods
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. We clean it along with the blades.
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A motor that has burnt out
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.

Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How we price extract fan cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- How big the system is
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- What state the system is in
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Leave a clear route to the fan
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.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Why act early in High Brooms
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the motor runs under more strain. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Kitchen extracts in High Brooms
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 24 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central High Brooms. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. High Brooms sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in High Brooms get their food hygiene inspections from Tunbridge Wells council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Kent and Sussex Hospital is the nearest hospital to High Brooms, about 1.2 miles south-west. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Matthew's Church or elsewhere in High Brooms, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
