Extract Fan Cleaning in Mountain Street
For extract fan cleaning in Mountain Street, one call is all it takes, from survey to sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
What happens on the day
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 are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Somewhere like Mountain Street, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
What affects the quote in Mountain Street
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The size of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Mountain Street?
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. The grease that’s left lands on the blades and the casing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A motor area thick with grease
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Mountain Street is Kent and Canterbury Hospital, about 5.7 miles east.
What your quote should include
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
Questions from Mountain Street
Which fire authority looks after Mountain Street?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Mountain Street. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Mountain Street?
In Mountain Street, it’s Ashford council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
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 a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A motor that has burnt out
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Damaged fan blades
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Discharge points
- Axial fans
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
Mountain Street kitchens: local notes
There are about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Mountain Street and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Environmental health officers from Ashford council inspect food businesses in Mountain Street. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Mountain Street is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Mountain Street, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you cook for passing trade around Chilham station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Why it’s worth doing now in Mountain Street
For a kitchen in Mountain Street, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it, so it’s worth checking the whole system. A planned visit to Mountain Street is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
