Extract fan cleaning near New Romney

Extract fan cleaning in New Romney, done properly

Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and you’ll get a fixed price, usually within one working day. The work covers roof-mounted fans, fan housings and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are a smell of hot grease from the extract and a fan that has never been cleaned.

Around a smaller place like New Romney, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.

For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What extract fan cleaning can’t fix

We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan cleaning won’t do:

  • Damaged fan blades
  • A dirty duct upstream of the fan
  • An undersized fan that can’t cope

If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Where we work

  • Fan housings
  • Discharge points
  • Roof-mounted fans
  • Axial fans
  • Centrifugal fans
  • In-line fans

Keeping the system healthy

Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:

  • Report grease escaping from the fan
  • Leave a clear route to the fan
  • Run the extract throughout cooking
  • Book the fan into every full TR19 clean

You get before and after pictures of the impeller and housing. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.

Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.

How the visit works

Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like New Romney.

  1. First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
  2. Once isolated, we open the fan up.
  3. Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
  4. We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
  5. We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.

How to prepare

  • Clear loose items from the work area
  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning

The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:

  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
  • The number of sites or systems
  • What state the system is in
  • Any permits to work or inductions

We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.

What to send for a quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:

  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • A few general shots of the system
  • Any previous report or certificate

Need a price for extract fan cleaning? Please call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site. We’ll talk you through the work and send you a fixed quote before anything is booked.

Multi-site and managed buildings

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.

New Romney questions

Do you work in villages like New Romney?

Yes. New Romney is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.

Does the sea air around New Romney make a difference to extract fan cleaning?

Yes, to a degree: at about 2 miles from the coast, New Romney gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.

Are you insured?

Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.

Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?

The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.

Can you clean the fan on its own?

Yes. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.

What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?

An unbalanced impeller, normally from uneven grease, is a common cause. After cleaning, we’ll tell you if wear or damage is also involved.

What should I send you?

Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

How much notice should we give?

For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.

Extract fan cleaning in New Romney: the local picture

New Romney is within about 2 miles of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency records list about 25 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 10 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of New Romney. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Environmental health officers from Folkestone and Hythe council inspect food businesses in New Romney. 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.

Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Nicholas Church of England Primary Academy, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in New Romney

How fast a fan gets greasy in New Romney depends on the cooking: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.

Any of these means the system needs a check-up:

  • Less air being pulled from the kitchen
  • Rough running from the extract fan
  • A heavily greased fan housing
  • Grease stains around the discharge

Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in New Romney, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
  • Whether a survey comes first
  • How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
  • What insurance they carry

Kitchens with long cooking hours

When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.

Roof-mounted fans

Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. We clean them where they can be safely reached, and anything we can’t reach is recorded.
