- Rough running from the extract fan
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Check filters are seated before cooking
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.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Extract fan cleaning in Newingreen
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. Common call-outs are for weak extraction at the canopy and a fan coated in grease inside its housing, across roof-mounted fans, axial fans and in-line fans.
For a kitchen in or near Newingreen, 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.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Extract fan cleaning in Newingreen: the local picture
The coast is only about 3 miles from Newingreen. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Newingreen. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Fire safety in Newingreen falls to 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Pedlinge Chapel or anywhere around Newingreen, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Commuter trade near Westenhanger station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Lympne Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What else we do in Newingreen
The process
Your staff don’t 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 the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Newingreen and turn up when the site is quiet.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area

What a clean will not put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What the work involves, part by part

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Newingreen
Which council inspects kitchens in Newingreen?
That is Folkestone and Hythe council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Newingreen. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Which fire service covers Newingreen?
That’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so you don’t have to close during trading.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, we do. 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.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
Allow a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Why deal with it now?
For a kitchen in Newingreen, 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. A planned visit to Newingreen is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
