What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes an hour or two for most single fans. The timing of a visit to Stonehill Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Advice
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stonehill Green
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. We are often asked to deal with rough running from the extract fan and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, across fan housings, discharge points and centrifugal fans.
Somewhere as small as Stonehill 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Stonehill Green
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition of the system
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
When something else is needed
Extract fan cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- A fan that will not start
- Damaged fan blades
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Stonehill Green kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 20 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 12 takeaways and sandwich shops in Stonehill Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Stonehill Green is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Stonehill Green get their food hygiene inspections from Dartford council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Where a hall near St Peter, or anywhere in Stonehill Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Hextable School or anywhere near Stonehill Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What the work involves, part by part
Fan housings and motors
Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Long cooking hours mean more grease reaches the fan. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Stonehill Green: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Stonehill Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Stonehill Green is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you work at weekends in Stonehill Green?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Stonehill Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you cover Stonehill Green?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Stonehill Green.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
How long is a fan clean?
A single accessible fan does not take long, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
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 we are called out for in Stonehill Green
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Stonehill Green as anywhere. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
Hall Place and Gardens, about 2.4 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Stonehill Green; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
