Extract fan cleaning in Hinxhill, done properly
If the extract fan in Hinxhill has become noisy, weak or greasy? A few details or a photo help when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll give you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Hinxhill, normally within one working day. If you have a fan that no longer moves enough air and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease, we can put it right, from fan housings, centrifugal fans and roof-mounted fans onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Hinxhill, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

How the job changes from site to site
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. We clean it along with the blades.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Long cooking hours mean more grease reaches the fan. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.
Grease, kitchens and Hinxhill
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs and bars across Hinxhill and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kitchens in Hinxhill get their food hygiene inspections from Ashford council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Hinxhill 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.
School kitchens, at schools like Brook Community Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Hinxhill, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Leave it or put it right?
A fan that sounds rough in Hinxhill is often telling you the extract needs a clean. If the fan is coated, the duct before it typically is too, so it’s worth checking the whole system. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

What we are called out for in Hinxhill
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Look out for any of the following:
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A fan left out of previous cleans
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Hinxhill is William Harvey Hospital, about 0.7 miles west.

Questions from Hinxhill
Do you cover smaller places like Hinxhill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can the work in Hinxhill be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Hinxhill needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
A single accessible fan does not take long, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. We plan it out of hours.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, we do. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Hinxhill?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
With the fan isolated, the extract isn’t running. That is why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- An impeller that is bent or split
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Discharge points
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
You get before and after photos of the impeller and housing. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Keep the route to the fan clear. 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.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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 the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Hinxhill before we set off.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system
