Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in New Hythe
Not all extract fans are the same: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. The work covers in-line fans, centrifugal fans and axial fans, and people most often call us about burning smells from the fan area and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles.
In a small place like New Hythe, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The times the site is available
- How easy every part is to reach
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site

What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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.
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.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near New Hythe, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Questions from New Hythe
Can you work in New Hythe outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in New Hythe needn’t be disturbed. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Is New Hythe within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in New Hythe?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it can’t run during the clean. With the extract off, the kitchen can’t cook, so we work out of hours.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use. Some fans need attention sooner.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Keep access to the fan clear
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
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.
When to call us in New Hythe
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. When filters don’t seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A motor area thick with grease
School kitchens, at schools like Brookfield Junior School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
