Langton Green kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 5 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Langton Green. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. It’s Tunbridge Wells council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Langton Green. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Langton Green is 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.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Langton Green is Tunbridge Wells Homeopathic Hospital, about 2 miles east.

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Langton Green
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. Common call-outs are for a fan coated in grease inside its housing and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles, across fan housings, discharge points and roof-mounted fans.
Around a smaller place like Langton Green, 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 pictures follows every 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.

Different parts, different methods
Fan housings and motors
Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.
How it works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. We plan the journey to Langton Green and bring what the job is likely to need.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Advice
Langton Green: your questions answered
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Langton Green during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 13 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Langton Green, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Langton Green?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Langton Green. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum in BESA guidance. At the extremes, that is 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Before and after photos go into a report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
Allow an hour or two for most single fans. We will confirm the time when we quote.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan cleaning won’t do:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work
- Axial fans
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- Discharge points
When to call us in Langton Green
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. When filters do not seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan shaking on its mounts
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Langton Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether they recommend a next date
What affects the quote in Langton Green
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Make sure the fan is reachable. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
