Lullingstone extract fan cleaning
Our technicians work in Lullingstone on extract fan cleaning. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. 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. Somewhere like Lullingstone, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- 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.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Extract fan cleaning in Lullingstone
Not all extract fans are the same: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. The way in depends on the type and the survey shows us how to reach it. If you’re dealing with a fan that has never been cleaned and a smell of hot grease from the extract, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

FAQs for Lullingstone
Will you come out to Lullingstone?
Yes. Lullingstone is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Lullingstone?
Kitchens in Lullingstone are inspected by Sevenoaks council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
We also repair and replace extract fans. If cleaning shows a worn motor, bearings or impeller, we’ll tell you and quote for the repair.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How long is a fan clean?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. As a guide, it takes an hour or two for most single fans.
Why deal with it now?
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

What extract fan cleaning cannot fix

- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)

- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.

Extract fan cleaning around Lullingstone
Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Lullingstone and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. In Lullingstone, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Sevenoaks council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Lullingstone is covered by 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.
Where a hall near Church of Saint Botolph, or anywhere in Lullingstone, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. A hospital like Orpington Hospital, about 4.2 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. A kitchen near Eynsford station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
Lullingstone is about 3 miles south of Swanley, in Kent. Whatever kind of site you run in Lullingstone, extract fan cleaning is something we can help with. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so trading is not interrupted. We cover 922 places across Kent, large and small. We also work in London, about 16 miles from Lullingstone.

Around Lullingstone
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to The Malt Shovel pub and Raspberry Hall Park. The closest station to Lullingstone is Eynsford station, about 0.6 miles north-east of the centre. A little further out are Lullingstone Castle (within half a mile east) and Orpington Hospital (4.2 miles west). Open spaces near Lullingstone include The Warren.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Leave a clear route to the fan
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Different parts, different methods
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
Impellers and blades
Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
