Extract fan cleaning in Park Farm
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. Typical jobs include grease around the motor and its mounts and thick grease on the impeller and casing, across in-line fans, roof-mounted fans and axial fans.
In a smaller place like Park Farm, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What happens if it’s left?
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. When a site near Park Farm shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive 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 before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Park Farm when you book.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Park Farm
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. 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.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A fan that will not start
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Park Farm
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Park Farm in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Park Farm, the Food Standards Agency lists about 5 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which fire authority looks after Park Farm?
Park Farm is in the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use. Some fans need attention sooner.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.

How the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Long cooking hours mean more grease reaches the fan. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. We clean them where they can be safely reached, and anything we cannot reach is recorded.
When to call us in Park Farm
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. The difference throws the impeller off balance and puts strain on the bearings. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
Godinton House, about 3.1 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near Park Farm; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
