Common problems we fix in Palm Bay
Grease condenses as the air cools, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. So grease often settles heavily there.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Grease stains around the discharge
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
School kitchens, at schools like Palm Bay Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

If you have a fan left out of previous cleans and grease escaping from the fan outlet, we can help, from centrifugal fans, roof-mounted fans and discharge points onwards.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Palm Bay: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Palm Bay?
That is Thanet council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Palm Bay. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Palm Bay out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 7 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Palm Bay. You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
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 accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Palm Bay
At about 1 mile from the coast, Palm Bay is close enough for sea air to matter. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 37 pubs and bars and about 9 hotels and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Palm Bay. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Palm Bay are the job of Thanet council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Philip, or anywhere in Palm Bay, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Palm Bay is Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital, about 1.4 miles south-west.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
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.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Wiring faults to the fan
- A fan that won’t start
- Damaged fan blades
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Roof-mounted fans
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
- Axial fans
- Fan housings
- Discharge points

What else we do in Palm Bay
What happens if it’s left?
A fan clean in Palm Bay doesn’t take long: it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. Somewhere as small as Palm Bay, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
