About our extract fan cleaning in Wierton
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A heart under strain works harder for less. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found, before signing it off. If you have grease around the motor and its mounts and weak extraction at the canopy, we can help.
In a small place like Wierton, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Wierton
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The condition of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The scale of the work
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The site address and the type of premises
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Wierton
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. The difference throws the impeller off balance and puts strain on the bearings. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Stoneacre is about 2.5 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
What to look for in a quote
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Wierton run smoothly.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Why act early in Wierton
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. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Wierton is calmer for everyone.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Grease, kitchens and Wierton
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Wierton. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Wierton sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Wierton get their food hygiene inspections from Maidstone council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Oakwood Hospital (about 4.5 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter or anywhere around Wierton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Wierton is about 3 miles south of Maidstone, in Kent. Every kind of commercial site in Wierton, extract fan cleaning is something we can help with. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so trading isn’t interrupted. Our area takes in 922 places across Kent, large and small.

Wierton: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Wierton?
That’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you come to Wierton after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Wierton doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Grease on the blades and housing is one of the usual causes, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. It can also be wear in the bearings or motor, which our report will flag.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract, 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.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
It has to be off and isolated before anyone touches it. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking isn’t affected.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, we can clean just the fan. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
