What the work involves, part by part
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
About our extract fan cleaning in Rodmersham Green
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look, before signing it off. If you’re dealing with grease stains around the discharge and a fan left out of previous cleans, we can put it right, from in-line fans, discharge points and fan housings onwards.
In a small place like Rodmersham Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.
How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Rodmersham Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear loose items from the work area

Why deal with it now?
Cleaning the fan in Rodmersham Green now is a short job: the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. It’s simpler to plan the work at Rodmersham Green now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Questions from Rodmersham Green
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Rodmersham Green?
In Rodmersham Green, it’s Swale council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which fire service covers Rodmersham Green?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Rodmersham Green. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
A common cause is grease. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning doesn’t, the bearings or motor may need attention.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
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.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Rodmersham Green
Food Standards Agency records list about 13 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 11 takeaways and sandwich shops across Rodmersham Green 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. Food hygiene inspections in Rodmersham Green are the job of Swale council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Rodmersham Green falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Rodmersham Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Rodmersham School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
