Extract fan cleaning in Newtown
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found, before signing it off. We are often asked to deal with a fan left out of previous cleans and a fan coated in grease inside its housing, on centrifugal fans, axial fans and discharge points.
For a kitchen in or near Newtown, 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 to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
FAQs for Newtown
Do you cover smaller places like Newtown?
Yes. Newtown is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which environmental health team covers Newtown?
In Newtown, it’s Sevenoaks council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
Every clean has a photo report, with anything we noticed. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, it should be. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
Fan housings and motors
Motors and their electrics are kept dry and treated with care, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so we clean what we safely can.
How we price extract fan cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to

- Axial fans
- In-line fans
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
When to call us in Newtown
A greasy fan in Newtown is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A heavily greased fan housing
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Queen Victoria Hospital (about 5.4 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What your quote should include
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Proof of insurance
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
Extract fan cleaning around Newtown
We cover Newtown, about 24 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Environmental health officers from Sevenoaks council inspect food businesses in Newtown. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Hever Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Hever Castle is about 1 mile north), access may need planning.
Newtown is about 6 miles north-east of East Grinstead, in Kent. Sites in Newtown get the same service as everywhere we cover: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos. 922 places in Kent are on our list, from busy centres to quieter spots.

What we do, step by step
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. The work itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Somewhere like Newtown, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
