How we handle extract fan cleaning in Key's Green
A clean fan isn’t a repaired fan. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we’ll tell you and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You’ll know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. If you’re dealing with fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and a noisy fan that has got louder over time, we can put it right, from axial fans, fan housings and centrifugal fans onwards.
Work in a small place like Key's Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Key's Green?
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.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Burning smells from the fan area
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Chapel Of Ease Of St Luke or elsewhere in Key's Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before you book
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- What insurance they carry
- What hours they’ll be on site
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and we clear up before we go. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Key's Green.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

FAQs for Key's Green
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Key's Green during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Key's Green. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Is Key's Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Key's Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, we do. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We can repair or replace it, and if it fails outright, our 24/7 emergency line is there.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
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.
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
You get before and after photos of the impeller and housing. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
How we price extract fan cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- What state the system is in
- The size of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Grease, kitchens and Key's Green
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Key's Green. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. In Key's Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tunbridge Wells council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Key's Green falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Pembury Hospital about 2.4 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Scotney Castle is about 3.6 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Why deal with it now?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. In a small place like Key's Green, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
