About our extract fan cleaning in Mockbeggar
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but a fan can also need attention on its own, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. If you’re dealing with a fan left out of previous cleans and a fan shaking on its mounts, we can help, from fan housings, roof-mounted fans and axial fans onwards.
Work in a small place like Mockbeggar starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Visits to a village like Mockbeggar are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Mockbeggar kitchens: local notes
Sea air reaches Mockbeggar, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease.

Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. In Mockbeggar, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Medway council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.

What the work involves, part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- Damaged fan blades
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Why it’s worth doing now in Mockbeggar
A fan that sounds rough in Mockbeggar is often telling you the extract needs a clean. If the fan is coated, the duct before it typically is too, so it’s worth checking the whole system. With notice, the visit to Mockbeggar can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Mockbeggar
Which fire authority looks after Mockbeggar?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Mockbeggar. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Does being near the coast affect extract fan cleaning in Mockbeggar?
It can, as Mockbeggar is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. It can also be wear in the bearings or motor, which our report will flag.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
Cleaning removes grease, but it can’t fix worn parts. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Mockbeggar
Grease condenses as the air cools, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. So grease often settles heavily there.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; French Hospital is the nearest hospital to Mockbeggar, about 2.4 miles south.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether a survey comes first
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How easy every part is to reach
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
