Extract fan cleaning in Warmlake, done properly
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and you will get a fixed price, typically within one working day. The work covers in-line fans, discharge points and fan housings, and common reasons people get in touch are burning smells from the fan area and a fan that no longer moves enough air.
For a kitchen in or near Warmlake, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What the work involves, part by part
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so we clean what we safely can.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so we plan how to reach and clean them. If it can’t be reached fully, the report says so.
When it’s something else
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Wiring faults to the fan
- A motor that has burnt out
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Warmlake
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How big the system is
- The condition we find in the survey
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

The process
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits, and we clear up before we go. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Warmlake and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Report rattles or humming early
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Never cook with a filter missing
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
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.
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
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.

Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Environmental health officers from Maidstone council inspect food businesses in Warmlake. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Warmlake
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Warmlake?
Fire safety enforcement in Warmlake is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you work in Warmlake outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Warmlake keeps running as normal. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, where it makes sense. We’ll often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan usually means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Uneven grease on the impeller often causes it. After cleaning, we’ll tell you if wear or damage is also involved.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen cannot cook while we work. That’s why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
