What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. In a small place like Wingham, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.

Advice
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Wingham
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found so you get a clean bill of health. Common call-outs are for burning smells from the fan area and a fan left out of previous cleans, on in-line fans, fan housings and discharge points.
In a village or hamlet like Wingham, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. We clean them where they can be safely reached, with any limits noted.
Fan housings and motors
Motors and their electrics are kept dry and treated with care, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
FAQs for Wingham
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Wingham?
Food hygiene inspections in Wingham are carried out by Dover council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire authority looks after Wingham?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Wingham. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
Every clean has a photo report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so the site doesn’t lose a service.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.

Kitchen extracts in Wingham
Food Standards Agency records include about 4 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Wingham. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Wingham is 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. Food hygiene inspections in Wingham are the job of Dover council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Wingham (Goodnestone Park is about 2 miles south), fitting access panels needs care. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Wingham Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Where a hall near St Mary's Church, or anywhere in Wingham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Wingham
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
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 will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The site address and the type of premises
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
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. That’s our job.
Leave it or put it right?
A fan clean in Wingham does not take long: the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Waiting adds vibration, wear and a harder clean. In a place like Wingham, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
