About our extract fan cleaning in Mystole
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A heart under strain works harder for less. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look so you get a clean bill of health. The work covers axial fans, in-line fans and centrifugal fans, and the jobs we see most are fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and a fan that no longer moves enough air.
For a kitchen in or near Mystole, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

FAQs for Mystole
Which council inspects kitchens in Mystole?
That’s Canterbury City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Mystole. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you get to a site in Mystole?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Mystole is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract, from every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours of cooking a day to every 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings and the fan’s condition can show it needs more.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we will book around them.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Fan repair and replacement is part of what we do. If cleaning shows a worn motor, bearings or impeller, we’ll tell you and quote for the repair.
Why deal with it now?
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen can’t cook safely. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Mystole is calmer for everyone.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll talk you through it.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Mystole
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
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 any work starts.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
Extract fan cleaning around Mystole
Food hygiene inspections in Mystole are the job of Canterbury City council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. About 50 miles out from central London, Mystole is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
School kitchens, at schools like Chartham Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you cook for passing trade around Chartham station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Kent and Canterbury Hospital about 3.8 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Mystole is about 4 miles south-west of Canterbury, in Kent. Whether your site is in the middle of Mystole or further out, extract fan cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from small sites to large estates. Mystole is one of 922 towns, villages and districts in Kent we cover for extract fan cleaning. We also work in Maidstone, around 21 miles away.
Here we cover the CT4 postcode area for extract fan cleaning. Streets in the area include Thruxted Lane and Mystole Lane, and we cover them all for extract fan cleaning. Other places close to Mystole include Shalmsford Street (1 mile east), Chartham (1 mile north-east), Garlinge Green (1 mile south-east), Chartham Hatch (2 miles north) and Petham (2 miles south-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Ashford (9 miles south-west), Canterbury (4 miles north-east), Dover (15 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (13 miles north-west), Folkestone (13 miles south-east) and Whitstable (7 miles north).
Local landmarks in Mystole
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Broadham Down and Cross Keys Public House. For rail, the closest station is Chartham station, about 0.9 miles north-east of the centre. Nearby you will also find Whitefriars Shopping Centre (3.9 miles north-east) and Chilham Castle (1.9 miles west). For a walk, there’s Blean Woods RSPB Reserve.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface and we check the area around the outlet. We note any grease around the fan.
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
Also in Mystole
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- A fan that won’t start
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or two for most single fans. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Mystole.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
