How we handle extract fan cleaning in Kings Hill
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and you’ll get a fixed price, typically within one working day. The work covers discharge points, axial fans and centrifugal fans, and the jobs we see most are thick grease on the impeller and casing and a fan shaking on its mounts.
Around a smaller place like Kings Hill, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
A written report with photos follows each visit, 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.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. In a smaller place like Kings Hill, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Questions from Kings Hill
Can a school canteen extract in Kings Hill be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 8 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Kings Hill, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Kings Hill?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Kings Hill. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
It depends on how many hours the kitchen cooks in BESA guidance. At the extremes, that is 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
We also repair and replace extract fans. If we find wear or damage, we will explain it and give you a fixed quote.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, where it makes sense. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- A motor that has burnt out
- An impeller that is bent or split
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
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 booking.
What the work covers

Managing agents and facilities teams in Kings Hill
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
If you look after several sites, 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.
How the job changes from site to site
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, so grease and wear build up together. Regular cleans help it keep going.
What affects the quote in Kings Hill
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition of the system
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
For extract fan cleaning in Kings Hill, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Kings Hill?
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing where the spinning blades spread it around.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Kings Hill, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
