How we handle extract fan cleaning in Statenborough
Not all extract fans are the same: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. The way in depends on the type, and we plan that during the survey. If you are dealing with a noisy fan that has got louder over time and burning smells from the fan area, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Statenborough 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. 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 ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Statenborough?
How fast a fan gets greasy in Statenborough depends on the cooking: 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.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A heavily greased fan housing
For schools such as Sandwich Technology School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What affects the quote in Statenborough
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The times the site is available
- How easy every part is to reach
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Kitchen extracts in Statenborough
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 15 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 takeaways across Statenborough and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Fire safety in Statenborough falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from Dover council inspect food businesses in Statenborough. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St George or elsewhere in Statenborough, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Statenborough (Goodnestone Park is about 4.2 miles west), fitting access panels needs care.

What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
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.
Different parts, different methods
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: chips, distortion or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
Questions from Statenborough
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Statenborough?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Statenborough. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work at weekends in Statenborough?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Statenborough keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Do you work in Statenborough?
Yes. Statenborough is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
We always isolate the fan first, so it can’t start while we work. With the extract off, the kitchen cannot cook, so we work out of hours.
What happens on the day
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Statenborough.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- File the fan’s report with your other records
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
