Extract Fan Cleaning in Northfleet Green
Need extract fan cleaning in Northfleet Green? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, finishing with a written report and photos.
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Grease stains around the discharge
How the job changes from site to site
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Wall fans
Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
Extract fan cleaning in Northfleet Green
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A heart under strain works harder for less. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look, before signing it off. We’re often asked to deal with a fan shaking on its mounts and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease, on centrifugal fans, in-line fans and discharge points.
In a small place like Northfleet Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Northfleet Green.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Advice
What affects the quote in Northfleet Green
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition we find in the survey
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
