Common questions in Weavering
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Weavering?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Weavering. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Weavering during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 16 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Weavering. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you work in Weavering?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Weavering included.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, it should be. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
Extract fan cleaning in Weavering, done properly
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. We’re often asked to deal with a noisy fan that has got louder over time and a fan that has never been cleaned, across fan housings, roof-mounted fans and centrifugal fans.
In a smaller place like Weavering, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. 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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits, and we clear up before we go. In a smaller place like Weavering, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- 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.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Why deal with it now?
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger and the motor works harder. In a smaller place like Weavering, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Report rattles or humming early
- Leave a clear route to the fan
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.
Keep the route to the fan clear. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A fan that won’t start
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Weavering kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 13 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Weavering. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. It’s Maidstone council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Weavering. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Weavering sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Holy Cross Church or elsewhere in Weavering, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. A kitchen near Bearsted station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

When to call us in Weavering
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Stoneacre is about 1.7 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
