How we handle extract fan cleaning in Marden
Any fan serving a kitchen in Marden is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. We are often asked to deal with grease stains around the discharge and thick grease on the impeller and casing, across roof-mounted fans, discharge points and axial fans.
In a smaller place like Marden, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Part by part
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.
Why deal with it now?
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. A planned visit to Marden fits your hours; an emergency doesn’t.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Grease, kitchens and Marden
Food Standards Agency records include about 4 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Marden, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Food hygiene inspections in Marden are the job of Maidstone council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Marden sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
School kitchens, at schools like Marden Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Michael and All Angels Church or elsewhere in Marden, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you cook for passing trade around Marden station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

What else we do in Marden
How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. Tell us when your site near Marden is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Marden
Will you come out to Marden?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work at weekends in Marden?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Marden can fit around your hours. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them 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. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, we do. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum in BESA guidance. Heavy use means at least every 3 months, light use at least every 12, fan included.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
