What a clean won’t put right

We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan cleaning won’t do:

  • Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
  • An undersized fan that can’t cope
  • A motor that has burnt out

If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Loyterton

If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look so you get a clean bill of health. The work covers fan housings, roof-mounted fans and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are less air being pulled from the kitchen and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan.

Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.

Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Questions from Loyterton

Is Loyterton within the area you cover?

Yes, Loyterton is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.

Which fire authority looks after Loyterton?

Loyterton is in the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.

Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?

In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.

Why is my extract fan noisy?

Often it’s grease on the impeller. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning does not, the bearings or motor may need attention.

What if the fan needs more than a clean?

A clean will not mend wear. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.

Are you insured?

Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.

Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?

It has to be off and isolated before anyone touches it. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking isn’t affected.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

What happens if it’s left?

A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. It’s simpler to plan the work at Loyterton now than to arrange it in a hurry later.

Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Kitchen extracts in Loyterton

At about 41 miles from central London, Loyterton sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. The fire and rescue service for Loyterton is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.

A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Loyterton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. For schools such as Lynsted and Norton Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Common problems we fix in Loyterton

A greasy fan in Loyterton is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it and an overworked motor runs hotter.

The symptoms we’re asked about most include:

  • A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
  • A fan shaking on its mounts
  • Grease stains around the discharge
  • Rough running from the extract fan

If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Belmont House and Gardens is about 3.1 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

What affects the quote in Loyterton

The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:

  • A single visit or a regular plan
  • The condition we find in the survey
  • The number of sites or systems
  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends

What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Asking for a quote

Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:

  • Your last certificate, test record or report
  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

What we do, step by step

When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Visits to a village like Loyterton are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.

  1. Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
  2. Once isolated, we open the fan up.
  3. The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
  4. We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
  5. The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.

How to prepare

  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
  • Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
  • Let us know about parking and loading

Ask for a quote

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
