Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Wallend
Any fan serving a kitchen in Wallend is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. We are often asked to deal with a smell of hot grease from the extract and a fan shaking on its mounts, across roof-mounted fans, in-line fans and fan housings.
For a kitchen in or near Wallend, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Common questions in Wallend
Do you cover smaller places like Wallend?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Wallend included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you work in Wallend outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Wallend doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. If a fan can’t be reached, the report says so, so the record is accurate.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Grease on the blades and housing is one of the usual causes, because it unbalances the fan. It can also be wear in the bearings or motor, which our report will flag.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Somewhere like Wallend, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Wallend?
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. The difference throws the impeller off balance, wearing bearings and mounts. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
For schools such as St James Church of England Primary Academy, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Different parts, different methods
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Wallend
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The number of sites or systems
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A motor that has burnt out
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

Kitchen extracts in Wallend
Wallend is within about 1 mile 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. Fire safety in Wallend falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Wallend, 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. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St James or elsewhere in Wallend, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
