Extract fan cleaning in Street End, Kent
We cover Street End for cleaning of kitchen extract fans, impellers, fan housings and discharge points. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures as standard.
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A heavily greased fan housing
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Street End and across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
About our extract fan cleaning in Street End
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. A thorough clean removes the cause. The work covers fan housings, axial fans and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are a smell of hot grease from the extract and grease stains around the discharge.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Make sure the fan is included each time
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. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. For a village or hamlet like Street End, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.

What affects the quote in Street End
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition we find in the survey
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

Kitchen extracts in Street End
The fire and rescue service for Street End 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. In Street End, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Canterbury City 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.
School kitchens, at schools like Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Kent and Canterbury Hospital about 1.5 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Street End questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Street End?
That is Canterbury City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Street End. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can the work in Street End be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Street End doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We can repair or replace it, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, we do. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
Do you cover Street End?
Yes. Street End is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
Allow a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. We will confirm the time when we quote.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What a clean won’t put right
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- Damaged fan blades
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- In-line fans
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
- Fan housings
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Street End
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. The difference throws the impeller off balance, wearing bearings and mounts. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Weak extraction at the canopy
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Street End, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What your quote should include

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
