Extract fan cleaning in Swift's Green
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing and we clean it off. Typical jobs include less air being pulled from the kitchen and thick grease on the impeller and casing, across discharge points, fan housings and centrifugal fans.
In a small place like Swift's Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Common questions in Swift's Green
Do you work overnight in Swift's Green?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Swift's Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Swift's Green?
The local authority for Swift's Green is Ashford council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
We always isolate the fan first, so it can’t start while we work. With the extract off, the kitchen cannot cook, so we work out of hours.
How it works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Swift's Green, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Move anything stored near the system

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
You get before and after photos of the impeller and housing. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
Why it’s worth doing now in Swift's Green
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. If the system at a site near Swift's Green fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan cleaning will not do:
- Damaged fan blades
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Centrifugal fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- In-line fans
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
- Fan housings
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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.
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
