How we handle extract fan cleaning in Wilsley Pound
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. We’re often asked to deal with an extract fan with no cleaning record and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, across discharge points, in-line fans and centrifugal fans.
Somewhere as small as Wilsley Pound, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. In a small place like Wilsley Pound, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an 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. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Wilsley Pound
Do you work in villages like Wilsley Pound?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who inspects food businesses in Wilsley Pound?
Kitchens in Wilsley Pound are inspected by Tunbridge Wells council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
With the fan isolated, the extract isn’t running. That’s why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Wilsley Pound?

Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.

Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Wilsley Pound
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How big the system is
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What the work involves, part by part
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so we plan how to reach and clean them. If it can’t be reached fully, the report says so.
Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.
Why act early in Wilsley Pound
A fan that sounds rough in Wilsley Pound is often telling you the extract needs a clean. If the fan is coated, the duct before it normally is too so a full TR19 clean may be due. It’s simpler to plan the work at Wilsley Pound now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Wilsley Pound
There are about 10 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 4 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Wilsley Pound, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Wilsley Pound sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Environmental health officers from Tunbridge Wells council inspect food businesses in Wilsley Pound. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Benenden Hospital (about 3.4 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of the Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Wilsley Pound, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Common reasons sites call us are:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
