Extract fan cleaning in Woolage Green, done properly
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and you will get a fixed price, normally within one working day. If you have less air being pulled from the kitchen and a motor area thick with grease, we can put it right, from in-line fans, discharge points and fan housings onwards.
In a small place like Woolage Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
We have been trading since 2009, as 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.

Different parts, different methods
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them, so the outlet area is checked too. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How easy every part is to reach
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet

To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Woolage Green questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Woolage Green?
That’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Will you come out to Woolage Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes, and that’s how we prefer to work. The visit is timed for when the area is not in use, whether that is late evening, overnight or a weekend.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
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.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
What happens if it’s left?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger, while the motor runs under more strain. Planning a trip to Woolage Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
The process
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. For a village or hamlet like Woolage Green, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Kitchen extracts in Woolage Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Woolage Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Environmental health officers from Canterbury City council inspect food businesses in Woolage Green. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Woolage Green. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Where a hall near Church of St Margaret, or anywhere in Woolage Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Goodnestone Park is about 3.2 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
