- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan shaking on its mounts
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
If the fan needs more than a clean, we will say so plainly. We also repair and replace extract fans, 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.
Extract fan cleaning in Kit's Coty, done properly
A clean fan isn’t a repaired fan. 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. Typical jobs include rough running from the extract fan and a fan shaking on its mounts, across centrifugal fans, discharge points and axial fans.
Somewhere as small as Kit's Coty, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Kit's Coty.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Kit's Coty
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
What the work involves, part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them, so the outlet area is checked too. We note any grease around the fan.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Kit's Coty

- The condition we find in the survey
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.

- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Kit's Coty
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. So grease often settles heavily there.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Rough running from the extract fan
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Alban's Church or anywhere around Kit's Coty, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Kit's Coty sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service.

The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like KIMS hospital about 3.4 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
