Extract fan cleaning in Radfall
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will give you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Radfall, typically within one working day. The work covers fan housings, in-line fans and centrifugal fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan shaking on its mounts 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.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Radfall: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Radfall?
In Radfall, it’s Canterbury City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you get to a site in Radfall?
Yes, Radfall is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we will book around them.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: every 3, 6 or 12 months. A noisy or heavily coated fan may need it sooner.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.

What we’re called out for in Radfall
A greasy fan in Radfall is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it and an overworked motor runs hotter.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A fan left out of previous cleans
For schools such as The Whitstable School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Proof of insurance
Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, so grease and wear build up together. Regular cleans help it keep going.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so we plan how to reach and clean them. If it can’t be reached fully, the report says so.
The process
On the day, we arrive 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 first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Somewhere like Radfall, 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.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Radfall
The coast is only about 2 miles from Radfall. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Food Standards Agency records list about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Radfall. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Fire safety in Radfall falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital about 1.8 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
