Marshborough extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning for Marshborough and the surrounding area: diagnosis first, then a fixed quote, the work and a report with photos. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Rough running from the extract fan
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
How it works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s 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 a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Marshborough, let us know and we will plan around it.
- 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.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.

About our extract fan cleaning in Marshborough
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You’ll know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. The work covers in-line fans, axial fans and roof-mounted fans, and people most often call us about a noisy fan that has got louder over time and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan.
Work in a small place like Marshborough starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Marshborough
Who is the fire and rescue service for Marshborough?
That’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you get to a site in Marshborough?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long is a fan clean?
It takes an hour or two for most single fans. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.

What we are called out for in Marshborough
Grease condenses as the air cools, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. So grease often settles heavily there.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A fan that has never been cleaned
Goodnestone Park, about 3.7 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near Marshborough; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Extract fan cleaning in Marshborough: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 12 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 4 sandwich bars and takeaways across Marshborough and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Marshborough 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. Food hygiene inspections in Marshborough are the job of Dover council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Marshborough, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Sandwich Technology School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- How big the system is
- The times the site is available
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Parking and loading at the site
The cost 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 work begins, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Never cook with a filter missing
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Make sure the fan is reachable. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
