Extract Fan Cleaning in Lynsore Bottom
One call covers cleaning of kitchen extract fans, impellers, fan housings and discharge points in Lynsore Bottom, from survey to sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A motor area thick with grease
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Lynsore Bottom.
- 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.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Extract fan cleaning in Lynsore Bottom
Any fan serving a kitchen in Lynsore Bottom 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. The work covers axial fans, fan housings and roof-mounted fans, and people most often call us about thick grease on the impeller and casing and burning smells from the fan area.
For a kitchen in or near Lynsore Bottom, 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, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What else we do in Lynsore Bottom
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Multi-site and managed buildings
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.
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.
What we’re called out for in Lynsore Bottom
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. The grease that is left lands on the blades and the casing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Kent and Canterbury Hospital about 4.1 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
What your quote should include
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether a survey comes first
- When the next visit should be, and why
- How VAT is shown on the quote
How the job changes from site to site
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Keep records of every fan clean
File the photo report with your other extract records. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Common questions in Lynsore Bottom
Do you cover smaller places like Lynsore Bottom?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Lynsore Bottom included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you work at weekends in Lynsore Bottom?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Fan repair and replacement is part of what we do. If we find wear or damage, we’ll explain it and give you a fixed quote.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, because it unbalances the fan. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. If a fan cannot be reached, the report says so, so you always know what was cleaned.
