Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stockland Green
We have been trading since 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers fan housings, centrifugal fans and roof-mounted fans, and common reasons people get in touch are grease around the motor and its mounts and a heavily greased fan housing.
Somewhere as small as Stockland Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Questions from Stockland Green
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Stockland Green in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 15 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Stockland Green. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Can you work in Stockland Green outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Stockland Green keeps running as normal. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
It has to be off and isolated, for safety. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking isn’t affected.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
It depends on how many hours the kitchen cooks, under BESA guidance. Heavy use means at least every 3 months, light use at least every 12, fan included.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
Grease, kitchens and Stockland Green
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 11 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Stockland Green. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Tunbridge Wells council inspect food businesses in Stockland Green. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Stockland Green 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Stockland Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Kent and Sussex Hospital is the nearest hospital to Stockland Green, about 1.8 miles south-east.

Around Stockland Green

The nearest railway station is High Brooms station, roughly 2 miles east of the centre. Nearby you will also find Royal Victoria Place (2 miles south-east) and Tonbridge Castle (3.3 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s Broadwater Warren RSPB Reserve and Barden Lake.
Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Somewhere as small as Stockland Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

What happens if it’s left?
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. A fault that closes a site in a village like Stockland Green affects everyone who depends on it.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Any permits to work or inductions
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it

How the job changes from site to site
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so we plan how to reach and clean them. Anything out of reach is recorded.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Long cooking hours mean more grease reaches the fan. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.
When to call us in Stockland Green
A greasy fan in Stockland Green is fuel at the end of the duct. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A motor area thick with grease
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A heavily greased fan housing
For schools such as Speldhurst Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether they’re fully insured
- When the next visit should be, and why

What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
