Extract fan cleaning in Wingham Well
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. Each is isolated and opened in its own way, and we plan that during the survey. The work covers roof-mounted fans, axial fans and in-line fans, and people most often call us about an extract fan with no cleaning record and less air being pulled from the kitchen.
Somewhere as small as Wingham Well, 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.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Make sure the fan is reachable. 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.
Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Wingham Well?
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Rough running from the extract fan
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Mary's Church, or anywhere in Wingham Well, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Wingham Well questions
Do you cover smaller places like Wingham Well?
Yes, Wingham Well is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you come to Wingham Well after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Who is the responsible person?
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. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Leave it or put it right?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the motor runs under more strain. Planning a trip to Wingham Well ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Wingham Well before we set off.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Grease, kitchens and Wingham Well
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 pubs and bars in Wingham Well and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Environmental health officers from Dover council inspect food businesses in Wingham Well. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Wingham Well is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Goodnestone Park is about 1.8 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

- An impeller that’s bent or split
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
