How we handle extract fan cleaning in Radfield
If the extract fan in Radfield has become noisy, weak or greasy? Tell us about it when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and you will get a fixed price, usually within one working day. Typical jobs include vibration from an unbalanced impeller and a fan that has never been cleaned, on fan housings, in-line fans and centrifugal fans.
Somewhere as small as Radfield, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

When to call us in Radfield
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. The grease that’s left lands on the blades and the casing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Teynham Parochial Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What your quote should include
- What hours they’ll be on site
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- What insurance they carry
- Whether VAT is included
When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Radfield and turn up when the site is quiet.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Advice
Places near Radfield

Why act early in Radfield
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger and the motor works harder. Planning a trip to Radfield ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Grease, kitchens and Radfield
The coast is only about 3 miles from Radfield. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Radfield. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Environmental health officers from Swale council inspect food businesses in Radfield. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Belmont House and Gardens, about 4.9 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Radfield; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Lawrence or elsewhere in Radfield, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Near you in Radfield
In Radfield, that means kitchens and buildings near Sittingbourne Community College and Fox pub and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Teynham station, roughly 0.9 miles east of the centre. A little further out are Bayford Court (2 miles north-west) and Sittingbourne Heritage Museum (1.9 miles west).
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Questions from Radfield
Does being near the coast affect extract fan cleaning in Radfield?
It can. Salt air reaches Radfield, which is within about 3 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Is Radfield within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Radfield included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
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.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Radfield?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so we plan how to reach and clean them. If it cannot be reached fully, the report says so.
