FAQs for Newnham
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Newnham?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Newnham. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Newnham?
Food hygiene inspections in Newnham are carried out by Swale council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Grease on the blades and housing is one of the usual causes, because it unbalances the fan. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you work in Newnham?
Yes. Our technicians work in Newnham, within the South East and London area we cover.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
Extract fan cleaning in Newnham, done properly
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. If you have burning smells from the fan area and grease escaping from the fan outlet, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Newnham starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
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.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. 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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Newnham.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan cleaning won’t do:
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
- A fan that won’t start
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
- Fan housings
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
- In-line fans
Grease, kitchens and Newnham
Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Newnham. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. We cover Newnham, about 41 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Eastling Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Belmont House and Gardens, about 2.2 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Newnham; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Newnham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Newnham is about 4 miles south-west of Faversham, in Kent. Anywhere in ME9, we can take on extract fan cleaning. Our Kent coverage runs to 922 places, and Newnham is one of them. Our Maidstone page covers sites nearby (12 miles or so).
We cover every part of ME9 for extract fan cleaning and the roads nearby. If you need extract fan cleaning at premises on The Street, Sharsted Hill and Newnham Lane or a nearby road, our technicians can take on the work. Neighbouring places we cover for extract fan cleaning include Doddington (1 mile west), Wichling (2 miles west), Bluetown (2 miles west), Hollybushes (3 miles west) and Payden Street (3 miles south-west). Further out, we also cover Maidstone (12 miles west), Ashford (10 miles south), Canterbury (12 miles east), Sittingbourne (5 miles north-west), Whitstable (11 miles north-east) and Faversham (4 miles north-east).
Around Newnham
In Newnham, that means kitchens and buildings near The George Inn and Doddington Place Gardens and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Teynham station, about 3.4 miles north. Nearby you will also find Newnham Castle (within half a mile north-east).
What happens if it’s left?
The fan is part of the fire path. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

What affects the quote in Newnham
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The size of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition we find in the survey
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
