Do you need extract fan cleaning in Pett Bottom?
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A heavily greased fan housing
For schools such as Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Extract fan cleaning in Pett Bottom
If the extract fan in Pett Bottom 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, typically within one working day. The work covers axial fans, centrifugal fans and roof-mounted fans, and the jobs we see most are a noisy fan that has got louder over time and grease around the motor and its mounts.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Visits to a village like Pett Bottom are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Advice
How we price extract fan cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Pett Bottom
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Different parts, different methods
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: cracks, bent blades or wear. We note any concerns.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.
Pett Bottom questions

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Pett Bottom can fit around your hours. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Pett Bottom?
Food hygiene inspections in Pett Bottom are carried out by Canterbury City council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Do you cover Pett Bottom?
Yes. Our technicians work in Pett Bottom, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
Before and after photos go into a report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
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.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Extract fan cleaning in Pett Bottom: the local picture
It’s Canterbury City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Pett Bottom. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Pett Bottom sits within the area of 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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Kent and Canterbury Hospital about 2.6 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Pett Bottom, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
