- Burning smells from the fan area
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes an hour or two for most single fans, and we clear up before we go. For a village or hamlet like Stockbury, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Extract fan cleaning in Stockbury, done properly
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: 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 that is what we clean. We are often asked to deal with weak extraction at the canopy and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease, on centrifugal fans, fan housings and axial fans.
In a small place like Stockbury, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Extract fan cleaning around Stockbury
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Stockbury. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Stockbury is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. It’s Maidstone council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Stockbury. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Stockbury is KIMS hospital, about 4.5 miles south-west. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mary Magdalene Church or anywhere around Stockbury, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and blades
Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Make sure the fan is reachable. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.

Stockbury: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Stockbury?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Stockbury can fit around your hours. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Is Stockbury within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
A clean will not mend wear. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. That helps when the fan needs attention before the next full clean, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
