How we price extract fan cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition we find in the survey
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’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
For extract fan cleaning in Kempe's Corner, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
About our extract fan cleaning in Kempe's Corner
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but a fan can also need attention on its own, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. If you’re dealing with grease escaping from the fan outlet and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, we can put it right, from axial fans, roof-mounted fans and fan housings onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Kempe's Corner, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, 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 ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
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.
When to call us in Kempe's Corner
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
Church and community hall kitchens, near All Saints’ Church or anywhere around Kempe's Corner, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What paperwork you get at the end
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- If they look at the system before pricing
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Different parts, different methods
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so we clean what we safely can.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing, once they’re isolated.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Kempe's Corner
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Kempe's Corner and across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Kempe's Corner
Can school kitchens in Kempe's Corner be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Kempe's Corner, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will fit the work in.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Kempe's Corner?
That is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Is Kempe's Corner 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 Kempe's Corner.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so the site does not lose a service.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
The fan must be isolated before anyone touches it. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking is not affected.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
One easily reached fan is quick, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes an hour or two for most single fans. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Kempe's Corner.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
