Questions from Trolliloes
Which council inspects kitchens in Trolliloes?
Kitchens in Trolliloes are inspected by Wealden council’s environmental health officers. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Can you come to Trolliloes after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Trolliloes keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re 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.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Different parts, different methods
Direct-drive fans
In a direct-drive fan, the impeller sits on the motor shaft. With no belts to wear, we look at the motor, bearings and impeller.
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. It may be straining against blocked filters or ducts or the motor may be near the end of its life.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early, so it can be looked at before it grows.
Noise is usually the first sign of a fan problem. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.

Leave it or put it right?
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. That shortens its life and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Catching it early keeps the repair small. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Trolliloes rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Kitchen extract fans
- Roof and wall fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
- Bearings
- Fan housings
When to call us in Trolliloes
Fan bearings don’t last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble and a seized bearing stops the fan.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A worn or slipping fan belt
Kitchens in Trolliloes can call our 24/7 emergency line whenever an extract fan stops.
