Extract Fan Cleaning in Shover's Green
Extract fan cleaning in Shover's Green from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- A motor area thick with grease
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan cleaning will not do:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers

How we handle extract fan cleaning in Shover's Green
We’ve been trading since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. Common call-outs are for less air being pulled from the kitchen and burning smells from the fan area, across fan housings, centrifugal fans and axial fans.
For a kitchen in or near Shover's Green, 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.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the quote in Shover's Green
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- The times the site is available
- The condition we find in the survey
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Shover's Green?
A fan in Shover's Green builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Shover's Green (Wadhurst Castle is about 1.6 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Proof of insurance
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Check filters are seated before cooking
If the fan needs more than a clean, we will say so plainly. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Common questions in Shover's Green
Can you work in Shover's Green outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Shover's Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you work in villages like Shover's Green?
Yes. Shover's Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
At least as often as the rest of the extract, which BESA guidance sets by daily cooking hours: from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use. A noisy or heavily coated fan may need it sooner.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
It takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Your quote will give an idea.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen can’t cook while we work. That is why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Part by part
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: chips, distortion or wear. We note any concerns.
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
The process
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which 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 Shover's Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us where we can park and unload
