Common questions in Moorstock
Do you work in villages like Moorstock?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you work in Moorstock outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Uneven grease on the impeller often causes it. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Moorstock
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A heart under strain works harder for less. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found, before signing it off. The work covers centrifugal fans, axial fans and in-line fans, and people most often call us about weak extraction at the canopy and vibration from an unbalanced impeller.
In a village or hamlet like Moorstock, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Different parts, different methods
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing, once they’re isolated.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Long cooking hours mean more grease reaches the fan. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Report rattles or humming early
- Keep access to the fan clear
If the fan needs more than a clean, we will say so plainly. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Wiring faults to the fan
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Moorstock
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. Somewhere like Moorstock, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Common problems we fix in Moorstock
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
School kitchens, at schools like Sellindge Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Extract fan cleaning in Moorstock: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Moorstock. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. It’s Folkestone and Hythe council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Moorstock. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Moorstock. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Historic houses near Moorstock, such as Westenhanger Castle about 1.6 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Moorstock, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Moorstock is about 4 miles north-west of Hythe, in Kent.
