Extract fan cleaning in Oldbury
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. If you are dealing with a heavily greased fan housing and a fan left out of previous cleans, we can put it right, from in-line fans, centrifugal fans and fan housings onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Oldbury, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

How we price extract fan cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Parking and loading at the site
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The scale of the work
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings

What happens on the day
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. The timing of a visit to Oldbury is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
Why act early in Oldbury
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the motor runs under more strain. In a small place like Oldbury, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

What the work involves, part by part
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing, once they’re isolated.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Regular cleans help it keep going.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Wiring faults to the fan
- Damaged fan blades
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Extract fan cleaning around Oldbury
There are about 10 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 6 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Oldbury, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Kitchens in Oldbury get their food hygiene inspections from Tonbridge and Malling council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Oldbury sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Oldbury, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Sevenoaks Hospital (about 3.5 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Oldbury is about 4 miles east of Sevenoaks, in Kent. Whether your site is in the middle of Oldbury or further out, extract fan cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Oldbury is one of 922 places in Kent we cover for extract fan cleaning. There’s also a page for Maidstone, roughly 11 miles from Oldbury.
Postcode districts we cover here for extract fan cleaning: TN15. That includes premises on Oldbury Lane, Spring Lane and Sevenoaks Road and the roads around them. We also cover Ightham (1 mile south), Styants Bottom (1 mile west), Ivy Hatch (1 mile south), Sheet Hill (1 mile south-east) and Stone Street (1 mile south-west). Further out, we also cover Maidstone (11 miles east), Dartford (11 miles north), Sevenoaks (4 miles west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (10 miles south), Gravesend (11 miles north-east) and Tonbridge (6 miles south).
Around Oldbury
Around Oldbury, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near The Old House, Ivy Hatch Nature Reserve and Wrotham School and the streets around them. The closest station to Oldbury is Borough Green & Wrotham station, roughly 1.4 miles north-east of the centre. A little further out are Beechin Wood Archery Museum (2.4 miles east) and Ightham Court (0.8 miles north-east).
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Oldbury?
A greasy fan in Oldbury 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.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Ightham Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Common questions in Oldbury
Which council inspects kitchens in Oldbury?
Food hygiene inspections in Oldbury are carried out by Tonbridge and Malling council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can the work in Oldbury be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Oldbury keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
You get a photo report with before and after photos of the fan. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
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.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
