Managing agents and facilities teams in Newland Green
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
About our extract fan cleaning in Newland Green
We’ve been trading since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers centrifugal fans, in-line fans and roof-mounted fans, and people most often call us about a motor area thick with grease and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles.
In a small place like Newland Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Newland Green: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Newland Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Newland Green is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Newland Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Newland Green are carried out by Ashford council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. Typically it takes an hour or two for most single fans.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Damaged fan blades
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

The process
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 the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Newland Green.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear loose items from the work area

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Newland Green
How fast a fan gets greasy in Newland Green depends on the cooking: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St James or elsewhere in Newland Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Newland Green
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The times the site is available
- The number of sites or systems
- The scale of the work
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Check filters are seated before cooking
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, 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.
