Extract fan cleaning in Peters Village
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing and we clean it off. If you have thick grease on the impeller and casing and vibration from an unbalanced impeller, we can help.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Peters Village gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos 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.

Questions from Peters Village
Do you work in villages like Peters Village?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Peters Village is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which environmental health team covers Peters Village?
The local authority for Peters Village is Tonbridge and Malling council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
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.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Peters Village kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 10 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Peters Village. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. In Peters Village, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tonbridge and Malling council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Peters Village sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
A hospital like St. Catherine's Hospital, about 3.5 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in Peters Village, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

When to call us in Peters Village
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Halling Primary School or anywhere near Peters Village, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of insurance
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
What happens if it’s left?
For a kitchen in Peters Village, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. If the fan is coated, the duct before it normally is too, so it’s worth checking the whole system. A planned visit to Peters Village fits your hours; an emergency does not.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
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.
Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. For a place like Peters Village, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Clear the space around the work
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
