Extract fan cleaning for sites in Newchurch

Newchurch kitchens: local notes

Food hygiene inspections in Newchurch are the job of Folkestone and Hythe council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Newchurch, about 54 miles from central London, is within our usual area. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.

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

How we handle extract fan cleaning in Newchurch

The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan, and that is what we clean. If you have grease around the motor and its mounts and a fan shaking on its mounts, we can help, from discharge points, fan housings and in-line fans onwards.

Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.

Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Between visits

So the system stays in good health:

  • Tell us if the extract feels weaker
  • Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
  • Keep records of every fan clean
  • Keep the grease filters clean and in place

Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.

Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. In a small place like Newchurch, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.

  1. The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
  2. It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
  3. Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
  4. Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
  5. We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions
  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Newchurch

The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. So grease often settles heavily there.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A smell of hot grease from the extract
  • Less air being pulled from the kitchen
  • Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
  • A fan that hums, whines or rumbles

In and around Newchurch, every reachable section of the extract is cleaned, and anything we can’t reach goes on the report.

Questions to ask before booking

FAQs for Newchurch

Which fire service covers Newchurch?

Newchurch is in the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.

Is Newchurch within the area you cover?

Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Newchurch is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.

Do you have insurance?

Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.

Do we need to close while you work?

Not usually. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.

How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Newchurch?

We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before we start.

Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?

A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We can repair or replace it, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.

Which sectors do you work in?

All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.

What your team can do, and what needs us

A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.

If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.

Part by part

Fan housings and motors

We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so we clean what we safely can.

Impellers and blades

While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: chips, distortion or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
