Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Horsmonden
If the extract fan in Horsmonden has become noisy, weak or greasy? Tell us about it when you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Horsmonden, normally within one working day. Common call-outs are for a fan left out of previous cleans and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease, on discharge points, axial fans and centrifugal fans.
In a village or hamlet like Horsmonden, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Report rattles or humming early
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Keep access to the fan clear
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
Horsmonden kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses in Horsmonden and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Tunbridge Wells council inspect food businesses in Horsmonden. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Horsmonden. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Historic houses near Horsmonden, such as Scotney Castle about 3.4 miles south, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. School kitchens, at schools like Horsmonden Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hospital like Tunbridge Wells Hospital, about 5.3 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Different parts, different methods
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so we plan how to reach and clean them. Anything out of reach is recorded.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen cannot afford a fan failure. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. The timing of a visit to Horsmonden is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for Horsmonden
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Horsmonden during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Horsmonden, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Can you get to a site in Horsmonden?
Yes. Horsmonden is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
You get a photo report with before and after photos of the fan. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
How we price extract fan cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition of the system
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Why it’s worth doing now in Horsmonden
The fan is part of the fire path. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Planning a trip to Horsmonden ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
