Stelling Minnis: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Stelling Minnis?
Fire safety enforcement in Stelling Minnis is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you come to Stelling Minnis after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Stelling Minnis keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
One easily reached fan is quick, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum, under BESA guidance. Heavy use means at least every 3 months, light use at least every 12, fan included.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan

- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.

What we’re called out for in Stelling Minnis
A greasy fan in Stelling Minnis is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan shaking on its mounts
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Stelling Minnis Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and we clear up before we go. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Stelling Minnis.
- 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.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.

Why act early in Stelling Minnis
For a kitchen in Stelling Minnis, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it, so it’s worth checking the whole system. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Stelling Minnis is calmer for everyone.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
