Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so the method is planned in advance. Anything out of reach is recorded.
About our extract fan cleaning in Kingwood Common
In Kingwood Common, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. If you are dealing with grease around the motor and its mounts and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan, we can help, from discharge points, axial fans and in-line fans onwards.
Work in a small place like Kingwood Common starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
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.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.

Why deal with it now?
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Kingwood Common is calmer for everyone.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Wiring faults to the fan
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)

Do you work overnight in Kingwood Common?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Kingwood Common needn’t be disturbed. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you work in villages like Kingwood Common?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Kingwood Common included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Common problems we fix in Kingwood Common
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Kingwood Common as anywhere. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- 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 catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Battle Hospital about 5.1 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- The site address and the type of premises
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. 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. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Kingwood Common knowing what to expect.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
