About our extract fan cleaning in New Ash Green
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look, before signing it off. The work covers fan housings, roof-mounted fans and centrifugal fans, and the jobs we see most are a fan that hums, whines or rumbles and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan.
In a village or hamlet like New Ash Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Part by part
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
Fan housings and motors
Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.

What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. If you can send photos, we can arrive in New Ash Green knowing what to expect.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Grease, kitchens and New Ash Green
Look up New Ash Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 7 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central New Ash Green. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. New Ash Green is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in New Ash Green get their food hygiene inspections from Sevenoaks 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.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Cobham College is about 4.3 miles east), access may need planning. Where a hall near Parish Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, or anywhere in New Ash Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
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.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in New Ash Green?
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A motor area thick with grease
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as New Ash Green Primary School or anywhere near New Ash Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
