About our extract fan cleaning in Stocks Green
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. The work covers roof-mounted fans, in-line fans and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are a motor area thick with grease and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan.
In a village or hamlet like Stocks Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. 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 pictures 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.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Stocks Green
Can the work in Stocks Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Stocks Green out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Stocks Green. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we will plan around them.
How long is a fan clean?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. Typically it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. Anything that cannot be reached is recorded, so the record is accurate.
Is Stocks Green in your area?
Yes. We work in Stocks Green and the rest of Kent, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
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 can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Do we need to close while you work?
Normally not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.

When to call us in Stocks Green
How fast a fan gets greasy in Stocks Green depends on the cooking: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Hildenborough Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Before booking anyone
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether they’re fully insured
Extract fan cleaning in Stocks Green: the local picture
Look up Stocks Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 8 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Stocks Green. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. The fire and rescue service for Stocks Green is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Stocks Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tonbridge and Malling council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Parish Church of St John or anywhere around Stocks Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. For kitchens close to Hildenborough station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
You get before and after pictures of the impeller and housing. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Listen to the fan. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.
How we price extract fan cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
- How big the system is
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
What the work involves, part by part
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so we plan how to reach and clean them. Anything out of reach is recorded.
Wall fans
Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.
What happens if it’s left?
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Planning a trip to Stocks Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
