Different parts, different methods
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. We clean them where they can be safely reached, with any limits noted.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Totford
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but a fan can also need attention on its own, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. Common call-outs are for a fan coated in grease inside its housing and a fan that has never been cleaned, across roof-mounted fans, centrifugal fans and axial 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.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Keep access to the fan clear
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
Totford questions
Can you get to a site in Totford?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Totford included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you come to Totford after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Totford keeps running as normal. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How long is a fan clean?
One easily reached fan is quick, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. We plan it out of hours.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.

A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Totford run smoothly.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The number of sites or systems
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any previous report or certificate
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What happens if it’s left?
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. In a small place like Totford, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
