Extract fan cleaning in Aldrington
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? Tell us about it when you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and you will get a fixed price, normally within one working day. Typical jobs include a fan left out of previous cleans and a motor area thick with grease, on in-line fans, fan housings and discharge points.
Kitchens around a place like Aldrington are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

How we price extract fan cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Travel, parking and unloading
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
Leave it or put it right?
A fan clean in Aldrington does not take long: the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Waiting adds vibration, wear and a harder clean. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.

What happens on the day
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. We plan the journey to Aldrington and bring what the job is likely to need.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Common questions in Aldrington
Who inspects food businesses in Aldrington?
That is Brighton and Hove council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Aldrington. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Aldrington?
That’s East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Do you work in Aldrington?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Aldrington.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Cleaning removes grease, but it can’t fix worn parts. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
How the job changes from site to site
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, and anything we cannot reach is recorded.
Impellers and blades
Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Keep access to the fan clear
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
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.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Common problems we fix in Aldrington
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan, wearing bearings and mounts. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Burning smells from the fan area
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Hove Junior School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Extract fan cleaning in Aldrington: the local picture
At about 1 mile from the coast, Aldrington is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 65 pubs and bars and about 8 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses across Aldrington and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Kitchens in Aldrington get their food hygiene inspections from Brighton and Hove council. 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.
A kitchen near Portslade station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Montefiore Hospital is the nearest hospital to Aldrington, about 1.7 miles east.
