Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in St Ann's Green
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. The work covers fan housings, roof-mounted fans and discharge points, and people most often call us about an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and a motor area thick with grease.
Work in a small place like St Ann's Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition we find in the survey
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
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. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in St Ann's Green and across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in St Ann's Green

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in St Ann's Green can fit around your hours. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like St Ann's Green?

Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
How it works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up, and we clear up before we go. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near St Ann's Green, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. In St Ann's Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Maidstone council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.

Why act early in St Ann's Green
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. In a place like St Ann's Green, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.

How the job changes from site to site

An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: chips, distortion or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.

Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
