Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stick Hill
A clean fan is not a repaired fan. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we will tell you and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. The work covers centrifugal fans, fan housings and axial fans, and common reasons people get in touch are thick grease on the impeller and casing and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease.
In a small place like Stick Hill, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Extract fan cleaning in Stick Hill: the local picture
Environmental health officers from Sevenoaks council inspect food businesses in Stick Hill. 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. The fire and rescue service for Stick Hill is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Stick Hill (Hever Castle is about 1.5 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of the Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Stick Hill, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Part by part
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing after isolating them.
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Report rattles or humming early
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Stick Hill, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Related advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Stick Hill questions
Can you work in Stick Hill outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Stick Hill needn’t be disturbed. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Stick Hill?
In Stick Hill, it’s Sevenoaks council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, it should be. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
