Lewson Street extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning in Lewson Street from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.

- Grease around the motor and its mounts
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.

About our extract fan cleaning in Lewson Street
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. The way in depends on the type, and we plan that during the survey. The work covers axial fans, centrifugal fans and roof-mounted fans, and common reasons people get in touch are grease stains around the discharge and a fan left out of previous cleans.
In a small place like Lewson Street, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Lewson Street
The coast is only about 3 miles from Lewson Street. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Lewson Street. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kitchens in Lewson Street get their food hygiene inspections from Swale council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
School kitchens, at schools like Teynham Parochial Church of England Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Lewson Street, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What’s near Lewson Street

When to call us in Lewson Street
Grease condenses as the air cools, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Belmont House and Gardens is about 3.3 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.

What else we do in Lewson Street
Part by part
Impellers and blades
Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Somewhere like Lewson Street, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Parking and loading at the site
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
