Extract fan cleaning in Kettle Corner
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. If you are dealing with an extract fan with no cleaning record and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Kettle 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, whatever the size of the place.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Kettle Corner questions
Which fire service covers Kettle Corner?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Kettle Corner. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can school kitchens in Kettle Corner be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 13 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Kettle Corner. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we will plan around them.
How long is a fan clean?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. As a guide, it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so the site does not lose a service.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
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.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
What the work involves, part by part
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
When to call us in Kettle Corner
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Kettle Corner as anywhere. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor does not help.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A heavily greased fan housing
A hospital like Oakwood Hospital, about 1.1 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Grease, kitchens and Kettle Corner
There are about 11 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Kettle Corner, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Kettle Corner 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. It’s Maidstone council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Kettle Corner. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
For schools such as Barming Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Margaret or elsewhere in Kettle Corner, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Landmarks near Kettle Corner
Around Kettle Corner, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Quarry Wood, Oakwood Park Grammar School and The Bull Inn, among other places.

What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When something else is needed
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- A motor that has burnt out
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.

For landlords and multi-site operators
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 the report can go to both.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
