What extract fan cleaning looks like in Sevenoaks Weald
Food Standards Agency records list about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Sevenoaks Weald and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Fire safety in Sevenoaks Weald 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. Kitchens in Sevenoaks Weald get their food hygiene inspections from Sevenoaks council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Weald Community Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Sevenoaks Hospital (about 3.6 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

How we handle extract fan cleaning in Sevenoaks Weald
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. The work covers centrifugal fans, roof-mounted fans and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are a heavily greased fan housing and less air being pulled from the kitchen.
For a kitchen in or near Sevenoaks Weald, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the job changes from site to site
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them, so the outlet area is checked too. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: chips, distortion or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Sevenoaks Weald?
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. The difference throws the impeller off balance, wearing bearings and mounts. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Sevenoaks Weald (Knole House is about 2.1 miles north), fitting access panels needs care.

Leave it or put it right?
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. A fault that closes a site in a village like Sevenoaks Weald affects everyone who depends on it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
Why us?
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Trading since 2009
- Fully insured
How we price extract fan cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How big the system is
- The condition of the system
- 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
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How it works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Sevenoaks Weald knowing what to expect.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot 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.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Sevenoaks Weald
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Sevenoaks Weald during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Sevenoaks Weald. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Sevenoaks Weald?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Sevenoaks Weald. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
Cleaning removes grease, but it cannot fix worn parts. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Run the extract throughout cooking
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
