Work in a small place like Ware starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, 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.

Questions from Ware
Do you work in villages like Ware?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Ware out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Ware. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
The fan follows the full system’s interval, from every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours of cooking a day to every 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings and the fan’s condition can show it needs more.
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’ll tell you and quote for the repair.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, we do. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.

What else we do in Ware
How we price extract fan cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How easy every part is to reach
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any previous report or certificate
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Ware
The FSA’s data shows about 4 pubs, bars and clubs registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Ware. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Food hygiene inspections in Ware are the job of Dover council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Ware falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Around Ware, as anywhere, we clean the parts you can’t see as well as the canopy you can.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Report rattles or humming early
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Visits to a village like Ware are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
When to call us in Ware
Grease condenses as the air cools, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. So grease often settles heavily there.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Goodnestone Park is about 4.3 miles south-west), access may need planning.
Questions to ask before booking
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the price is fixed
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A motor that has burnt out
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before booking.
