How we handle extract fan cleaning in Liverton Street
Any fan serving a kitchen in Liverton Street is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: 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 have rough running from the extract fan and grease escaping from the fan outlet, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Liverton Street, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, 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.

Questions from Liverton Street
Who inspects food businesses in Liverton Street?
In Liverton Street, it’s Maidstone council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Liverton Street?
That is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, if the fan needs it. We will often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan usually means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. Anything that cannot be reached is recorded, so you always know what was cleaned.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it can’t start while we work. With the extract off, the kitchen can’t cook, so we work out of hours.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger and the motor works harder. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Liverton Street rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is 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 job takes an hour or two for most single fans. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Liverton Street before we set off.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- 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
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Related advice
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Report rattles or humming early
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
When we have finished, the fan is reassembled and run. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
How we price extract fan cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How easy every part is to reach
- Travel, parking and unloading
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- A few general shots of the system
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Liverton Street
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. So grease often settles heavily there.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Liverton Street, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

What the work involves, part by part
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. We get to them through the duct or casing after isolating them.
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: chips, distortion or wear. We note any concerns.
