About our extract fan cleaning in Teynham Street
We have been trading since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. Typical jobs include a noisy fan that has got louder over time and a fan coated in grease inside its housing, across roof-mounted fans, fan housings and in-line fans.
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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What happens if it’s left?
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Teynham Street is calmer for everyone.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Teynham Street and across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
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.
Teynham Street questions
Do you cover smaller places like Teynham Street?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Teynham Street is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which fire service covers Teynham Street?
That is 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 set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We can repair or replace it, and if it fails outright, our 24/7 emergency line is there.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, if the fan needs it. We’ll often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan normally means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Teynham Street run smoothly.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Advice
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The times the site is available
- How big the system is
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Extract fan cleaning in Teynham Street: the local picture
Teynham Street is within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. There are about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Teynham Street, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Food hygiene inspections in Teynham Street are the job of Swale council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you cook for passing trade around Teynham station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Teynham Street, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

When to call us in Teynham Street
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. The grease that’s left lands on the blades and the casing where the spinning blades spread it around.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- A motor area thick with grease
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Belmont House and Gardens is about 4.8 miles south), access may need planning.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered

- How VAT is shown on the quote
Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Check filters are seated before cooking
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Keep the route to the fan clear. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
