What extract fan cleaning looks like in Stuppington
The FSA’s data shows about 50 pubs and bars and about 16 hotels and B&Bs registered across Stuppington and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Stuppington sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Canterbury City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Stuppington. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. 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 Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Where a hall near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Stuppington, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
FAQs for Stuppington
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Stuppington out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Stuppington, the Food Standards Agency lists about 17 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Stuppington?
Fire safety enforcement in Stuppington is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes, and that is how we prefer to work. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, whether that’s late evening, overnight or a weekend.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Stuppington?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Why act early in Stuppington
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. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- Fully insured
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- A fixed price before any work starts
- A written report with photos after each visit

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Stuppington?
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.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Stuppington is Kent and Canterbury Hospital, about 0.8 miles north-east.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether they recommend a next date
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
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.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The size of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The postcode and the type of business
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes an hour or two for most single fans. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Stuppington.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Related advice
What a clean will not put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A motor that has burnt out
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
