What we’re called out for in Tonge Corner
A fan in Tonge Corner builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
What we are most often called out for:
- A motor area thick with grease
- Grease stains around the discharge
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Giles or elsewhere in Tonge Corner, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What your quote should include
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether the quote shows VAT

- Whether they recommend a next date
Extract fan cleaning in Tonge Corner
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A heart under strain works harder for less. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found, before signing it off. The work covers fan housings, roof-mounted fans and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are a fan coated in grease inside its housing and grease stains around the discharge.
In a village or hamlet like Tonge Corner, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, 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.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Extract fan cleaning around Tonge Corner
The coast is only about 2 miles from Tonge Corner. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Tonge Corner, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. In Tonge Corner, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Swale council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
For schools such as Lansdowne Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Tonge Corner
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 records stay tidy.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
How it works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere like Tonge Corner, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Questions from Tonge Corner
Does being near the coast affect extract fan cleaning in Tonge Corner?
It can. Being within about 2 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Tonge Corner than inland. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Do you cover smaller places like Tonge Corner?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Tonge Corner included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
We also repair and replace extract fans. If cleaning shows a worn motor, bearings or impeller, we will tell you and quote for the repair.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What about areas you can’t get to?
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.
