Extract fan cleaning in Queen Street
We have been trading since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers in-line fans, roof-mounted fans and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are burning smells from the fan area and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan.
In a village or hamlet like Queen Street, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

How the job changes from site to site

Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
Questions from Queen Street
Do you cover smaller places like Queen Street?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Queen Street is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Queen Street?
Queen Street is in the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
An unbalanced impeller, typically from uneven grease, is a common cause. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Queen Street?
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing where the spinning blades spread it around.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A fan that has never been cleaned
For schools such as Paddock Wood Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What affects the quote in Queen Street
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What else we do in Queen Street
Why deal with it now?
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller doesn’t stay small. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. With notice, the visit to Queen Street can be fitted around your bookings and events.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

Kitchen extracts in Queen Street
Look up Queen Street on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 16 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 4 takeaways and sandwich shops across Queen Street and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Kitchens in Queen Street get their food hygiene inspections from Tunbridge Wells council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Queen Street. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.

How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. Somewhere like Queen Street, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Move anything stored near the system

Advice
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
