Extract Fan Cleaning in Westmarsh
Extract fan cleaning for commercial sites in Westmarsh and across Kent. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan shaking on its mounts
How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and blades
The blades of the impeller do the work, and grease builds up on them unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so we plan how to reach and clean them. If it cannot be reached fully, the report says so.
Extract fan cleaning in Westmarsh
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. If you have a noisy fan that has got louder over time and a heavily greased fan housing, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Westmarsh, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Westmarsh
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
What affects the quote in Westmarsh
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The number of sites or systems
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Westmarsh.
- 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.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Clear the space around the work
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

What happens if it’s left?
The fan is part of the fire path. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

FAQs for Westmarsh
Who is the fire and rescue service for Westmarsh?
Fire safety enforcement in Westmarsh is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work at weekends in Westmarsh?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Westmarsh keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Do we need to close while you work?
Typically not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What we’re called out for in Westmarsh
A greasy fan in Westmarsh is fuel at the end of the duct. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A motor area thick with grease
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
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 4.6 miles south-west), access may need planning.
Questions to ask before booking
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
