- Damaged fan blades
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan

About our extract fan cleaning in Twydall
If the extract fan in Twydall 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 Twydall, typically within one working day. If you have grease escaping from the fan outlet and a fan that has never been cleaned, we can put it right, from axial fans, discharge points and roof-mounted fans onwards.
Around a smaller place like Twydall, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Never cook with a filter missing
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
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 affects the quote in Twydall
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
If you need extract fan cleaning in Twydall, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Tell us when your site near Twydall is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.

Common questions in Twydall
Who inspects food businesses in Twydall?
In Twydall, it’s Medway 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.
Which fire service covers Twydall?
Twydall is in the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do we need to close while you work?
Typically not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
How long is a fan clean?
A single accessible fan doesn’t take long, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract, from every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours of cooking a day to every 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.

Grease, kitchens and Twydall
Sea air reaches Twydall, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. There are about 28 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 31 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Twydall, 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. In Twydall, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Medway council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Twydall (Restoration House is about 3.6 miles west), fitting access panels needs care. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Holy Trinity Church or elsewhere in Twydall, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Twydall Primary School and Nursery tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What the work involves, part by part
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. We get to them through the duct or casing after isolating them.
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: cracks, bent blades or wear. We note any concerns.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
