Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in South Green
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. The work covers fan housings, axial fans and in-line fans, and people most often call us about rough running from the extract fan and grease around the motor and its mounts.
In a village or hamlet like South Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Questions from South Green
Do you work overnight in South Green?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Is South Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, South Green included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. Anything that can’t be reached is recorded, so you always know what was cleaned.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
You get a photo report with before and after photos of the fan. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, we can clean just the fan. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and if it fails outright, our 24/7 emergency line is there.
How we price extract fan cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- What state the system is in
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
How the job changes from site to site
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them and we check the area around the outlet. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Fan housings and motors
Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.

What happens if it’s left?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Why South Green businesses choose us
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Fixed quotes, usually within one working day
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to South Green can be planned properly.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- 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
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Get a fixed quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

South Green kitchens: local notes
About 35 miles out from central London, South Green is part of the South East area we work across. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. South Green sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Leeds Castle is about 4.4 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mary Magdalene Church or anywhere around South Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to South Green is KIMS hospital, about 4.5 miles west.
South Green is about 4 miles south-west of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Whether your site is in the middle of South Green or further out, extract fan cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building. South Green is one of 922 places in Kent where we work for commercial clients. There’s also a page for Maidstone, about 6 miles away.

Nearby, we also carry out extract fan cleaning in Stockbury (1 mile north-west), Oad Street (2 miles north-east), Silver Street (2 miles east), Bredgar (2 miles east) and Danaway (2 miles north-east). Larger places within reach include Maidstone (6 miles south-west), Ashford (15 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (4 miles north-east), Gravesend (14 miles north-west), Faversham (10 miles east) and Minster (10 miles north-east).
