Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stone Hill
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a fan can also need attention on its own, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. If you have fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and a fan coated in grease inside its housing, we can help, from centrifugal fans, roof-mounted fans and fan housings onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Stone Hill, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Stone Hill
Is Stone Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Stone Hill is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which environmental health team covers Stone Hill?
In Stone Hill, it’s Folkestone and Hythe council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
How long is a fan clean?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. As a guide, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
We always isolate the fan first, so it can’t run during the clean. With the extract off, the kitchen can’t cook, so we work out of hours.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. 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 the area is cleaned down before we leave. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Stone Hill knowing what to expect.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Stone Hill?
A greasy fan in Stone Hill 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 does not help.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A heavily greased fan housing
- A fan shaking on its mounts
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Stone Hill, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Grease, kitchens and Stone Hill
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Stone Hill, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Stone 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. Food hygiene inspections in Stone Hill are the job of Folkestone and Hythe council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Sellindge Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Stone Hill (Westenhanger Castle is about 2.2 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Stone Hill
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. 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 they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What a clean will not put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- Damaged fan blades
- A motor that has burnt out
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What we work on in Stone Hill
- Axial fans

Why act early in Stone Hill
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Stone Hill rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
