About our extract fan cleaning in Stonestreet Green

A clean fan is not a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. If you are dealing with a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and burning smells from the fan area, we can put it right.

For a kitchen in or near Stonestreet Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.

For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.

Between visits

No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:

  • Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
  • Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
  • Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
  • Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan

When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.

Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.

Stonestreet Green: your questions answered

Can you work in Stonestreet Green outside opening hours?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.

Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Stonestreet Green?

Fire safety enforcement in Stonestreet Green is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.

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.

What does extract fan cleaning cost?

Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.

What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?

Grease on the blades and housing is one of the usual causes, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. It can also be wear in the bearings or motor, which our report will flag.

Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?

It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.

Extract fan cleaning around Stonestreet Green

There are about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Stonestreet Green, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Food hygiene inspections in Stonestreet Green are the job of Ashford council’s environmental health team. 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. Stonestreet Green sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.

Where a hall near Church of St Martin, or anywhere in Stonestreet Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Historic houses near Stonestreet Green, such as Westenhanger Castle about 3.7 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

What the work involves, part by part

Impellers and blades

The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and grease builds up on them unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.

Roof-mounted fans

Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, with any limits noted.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Stonestreet Green

There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:

  • A single visit or a regular plan
  • The number of sites or systems
  • What state the system is in
  • How easy every part is to reach

What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Asking for a quote

Before you ask for a quote, gather:

  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Stonestreet Green?

The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. So grease often settles heavily there.

It’s time to book a visit if you see:

  • A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
  • A fan that has never been cleaned
  • Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
  • A fan coated in grease inside its housing

If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Aldington Primary School or anywhere near Stonestreet Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What your quote should include

  • How VAT is shown on the quote
  • Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
  • Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
  • Proof of insurance

Questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes an hour or two for most single fans, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Somewhere like Stonestreet Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.

  1. Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
  2. With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
  3. Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
  4. Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
  5. We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
  • Arrange a key holder or contact on site
  • Tell us where we can park and unload
