About our extract fan cleaning in Standen
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and you’ll get a fixed price, typically within one working day. The work covers discharge points, centrifugal fans and axial fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan left out of previous cleans and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan.
For a kitchen in or near Standen, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, 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 to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: chips, distortion or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them, so the outlet area is checked too. We note any grease around the fan.
Leave it or put it right?
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen can’t cook safely. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Why us?
- Fixed quotes, usually within one working day
- Every job surveyed first
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Standen
Is Standen within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who inspects food businesses in Standen?
Food hygiene inspections in Standen are carried out by Ashford council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
Do we need to close while you work?
Typically not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.

What do you need from me for a quote?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Grease, kitchens and Standen
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 7 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Standen. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Kitchens in Standen get their food hygiene inspections from Ashford council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Standen falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Whether the kitchen is in Standen itself or nearby, a TR19® clean covers the whole system, canopy to discharge. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Standen is Benenden Hospital, about 3.5 miles south-west.

The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. 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 an hour or two for most single fans. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Standen.
- 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.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
