What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- An impeller that is bent or split
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

About our extract fan cleaning in Leadingcross Green
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? Tell us about it when you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and you’ll get a fixed price, normally within one working day. We’re often asked to deal with a heavily greased fan housing and grease stains around the discharge, on in-line fans, centrifugal fans and discharge points.
In a small place like Leadingcross Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Extract fan cleaning around Leadingcross Green
There are about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Leadingcross Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Leadingcross Green. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Leadingcross Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Maidstone council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in Leadingcross Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Leeds Castle, about 3.6 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Leadingcross Green; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Lenham Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Common questions in Leadingcross Green
Do you cover smaller places like Leadingcross Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can a school canteen extract in Leadingcross Green be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 5 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Leadingcross Green. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
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. Every site has its own report.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Why it’s worth doing now in Leadingcross Green
Cleaning the fan in Leadingcross Green now is a short job: it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Waiting adds vibration, wear and a harder clean. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Leadingcross Green is calmer for everyone.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

What affects the quote in Leadingcross Green
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The size of the system
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Different parts, different methods
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them, so the outlet area is checked too. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Leadingcross Green can be planned properly.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear the space around the work
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
