Common questions in Oversland
Can the work in Oversland be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Oversland can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Oversland in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Oversland. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Oversland
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a fan can also need attention on its own, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. If you have thick grease on the impeller and casing and a fan that has never been cleaned, we can put it right, from axial fans, centrifugal fans and in-line fans onwards.
In a small place like Oversland, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Part by part
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so we clean what we safely can.
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
What happens if it’s left?
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller doesn’t stay small. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. Planning a trip to Oversland ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

What else we do in Oversland
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Oversland
There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Oversland and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), 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. Oversland is covered by 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. Food hygiene inspections in Oversland are the job of Swale council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Eastbridge Hospital of St Thomas the Martyr is the nearest hospital to Oversland, about 5.3 miles east. School kitchens, at schools like Boughton-under-Blean and Dunkirk Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Oversland, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A motor that has burnt out
- Wiring faults to the fan

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Oversland
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The scale of the work
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- What state the system is in
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Keep the route to the fan clear. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do 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. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Oversland.
