Extract fan cleaning in Teynham, done properly
If the extract fan in Teynham has become noisy, weak or greasy? Tell us about it when you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll give you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Teynham, typically within one working day. The work covers discharge points, fan housings and in-line fans, and people most often call us about a fan coated in grease inside its housing and weak extraction at the canopy.
In a smaller place like Teynham, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Common questions in Teynham
Who inspects food businesses in Teynham?
In Teynham, it’s Swale council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Does being near the coast affect extract fan cleaning in Teynham?
It can. Teynham is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at each visit.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Do you cover Teynham?
Yes. We work in Teynham and across Kent, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- Damaged fan blades
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Extract fan cleaning in Teynham: the local picture
Teynham is within about 3 miles of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Teynham. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Food hygiene inspections in Teynham are the job of Swale council’s environmental health team. 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Teynham, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Historic houses near Teynham, such as Belmont House and Gardens about 4.4 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Different parts, different methods
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and grease builds up on them unevenly. That’s what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Teynham
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
Look out for any of the following:
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Rough running from the extract fan
If you cook for passing trade around Teynham station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

What else we do in Teynham
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Keep records of every fan clean
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Everything the job in Teynham needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Getting ready for the visit
