FAQs for Pembury
Can school kitchens in Pembury be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 5 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Pembury, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you cover smaller places like Pembury?
Yes, Pembury is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen cannot cook while we work. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
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 we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Extract fan cleaning in Pembury
If the extract fan in Pembury has become noisy, weak or greasy? A few details or a photo help when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and you’ll get a fixed price, usually within one working day. If you’re dealing with grease escaping from the fan outlet and a heavily greased fan housing, we can help.
Kitchens around a place like Pembury are often in older buildings or single-storey 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: 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.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
Part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. We clean them where they can be safely reached, with any limits noted.
Fan housings and motors
Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.
What we are called out for in Pembury
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A motor area thick with grease
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A heavily greased fan housing
Where a hall near Upper Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Pembury, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Tell us when your site near Pembury is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Pembury
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
How we price extract fan cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Extract fan cleaning in Pembury: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 10 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Pembury. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Food hygiene inspections in Pembury are the job of Tunbridge Wells council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Pembury. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
A hospital like Tunbridge Wells Hospital, about 0.9 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. For schools such as Pembury School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Why act early in Pembury
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. Booking now means the visit to Pembury is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
