Need extract fan cleaning in Kent Street?

What a clean will not put right

Extract fan cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:

  • Grease in the canopy and ductwork
  • A fan that was never right for the kitchen
  • A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What the work covers

  • Centrifugal fans
  • Fan housings
  • Axial fans
  • Roof-mounted fans
  • In-line fans
  • Discharge points

How we handle extract fan cleaning in Kent Street

Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? Tell us about it when you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Kent Street, normally within one working day. If you are dealing with less air being pulled from the kitchen and thick grease on the impeller and casing, we can put it right, from centrifugal fans, axial fans and roof-mounted fans onwards.

For a kitchen in or near Kent Street, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.

For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How it works

We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Visits to a village like Kent Street are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.

  1. The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
  2. We isolate the power before opening the housing.
  3. Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
  4. Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
  5. It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions
  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

How to get a quote

To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will normally have a quote within one working day.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning

The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:

  • Parking and loading at the site
  • The number of sites or systems
  • How big the system is
  • A single visit or a regular plan

No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Helping us quote

What to send for a quote:

  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • A few general shots of the system
  • Any previous report or certificate
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is

For extract fan cleaning in Kent Street, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.

Kent Street: your questions answered

Is Kent Street within the area you cover?

Yes. Kent Street is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.

Do you work at weekends in Kent Street?

Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Kent Street can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.

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, normally ready within one working day.

What do you need from me for a quote?

Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Who is the responsible person?

That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.

What happens to the waste?

We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.

What if the fan needs more than a clean?

A clean won’t mend wear. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.

When to call us in Kent Street

The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. So grease often settles heavily there.

What we are most often called out for:

  • A smell of hot grease from the extract
  • A fan that no longer moves enough air
  • Rough running from the extract fan
  • A fan left out of previous cleans

Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Durhamford Manor is about 2.2 miles north-west), access may need planning.

Comparing quotes

  • How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
  • Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
  • Whether a survey comes first
  • Whether they recommend a next date

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.

Why it’s worth doing now in Kent Street

The fan is part of the fire path. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Planning a trip to Kent Street ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.

What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

The fire and rescue service for Kent Street is East Sussex 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.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.

If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
