How we handle extract fan cleaning in Nackington
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found, before signing it off. We are often asked to deal with grease escaping from the fan outlet and a noisy fan that has got louder over time, across in-line fans, roof-mounted fans and centrifugal fans.
For a kitchen in or near Nackington, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, 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.

When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Damaged fan blades
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Visits to a village like Nackington are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system

Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Nackington?
How fast a fan gets greasy in Nackington depends on the cooking: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
Look out for any of the following:
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan that has never been cleaned
For schools such as Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

How we price extract fan cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The times the site is available
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
For extract fan cleaning in Nackington, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
What happens if it’s left?
For a kitchen in Nackington, 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 a full TR19 clean may be due. In a small place like Nackington, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What you get with us
- We diagnose before we treat
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

Common questions in Nackington
Which fire service covers Nackington?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Nackington. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Is Nackington within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Nackington included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Every clean has a photo report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Grease, kitchens and Nackington
Look up Nackington on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 10 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops across Nackington and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Environmental health officers from Canterbury City council inspect food businesses in Nackington. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Nackington 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 Nackington, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Kent and Canterbury Hospital (about 1.1 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
