What extract fan cleaning looks like in Temple Hill
The FSA’s data shows about 33 pubs and bars and about 6 hotels and B&Bs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Temple Hill. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Temple Hill is covered by 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. Kitchens in Temple Hill get their food hygiene inspections from Dartford council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A kitchen near Dartford station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Temple Hill Primary Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

How we handle extract fan cleaning in Temple Hill
If the extract fan in Temple Hill has become noisy, weak or greasy? A few details or a photo help when you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and you will get a fixed price, normally within one working day. The work covers centrifugal fans, fan housings and roof-mounted fans, and the jobs we see most are less air being pulled from the kitchen and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan.
In a smaller place like Temple Hill, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Temple Hill
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
What a clean won’t put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Damaged fan blades
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- Wiring faults to the fan
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Report rattles or humming early
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.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
Questions from Temple Hill
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Temple Hill?
The local authority for Temple Hill is Dartford council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can school kitchens in Temple Hill be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 15 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Temple Hill. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
How long is a fan clean?
One easily reached fan is quick, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
When to call us in Temple Hill
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. The difference throws the impeller off balance and puts strain on the bearings. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A motor area thick with grease
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
Where a hall near St Edmunds Church, or anywhere in Temple Hill, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Everything the job in Temple Hill needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
