Extract fan cleaning in America Ground, done properly
In America Ground, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. The work covers in-line fans, centrifugal fans and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are an extract fan with no cleaning record and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles.
In a smaller place like America Ground, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. A site near America Ground usually has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- 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.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Advice
Common problems we fix in America Ground
A greasy fan in America Ground is fuel at the end of the duct. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A motor area thick with grease
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A fan left out of previous cleans
Bursars and site managers at schools such as University School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Why deal with it now?
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to America Ground at a time that suits you.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

How the job changes from site to site
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so we clean what we safely can.
Kitchen extracts in America Ground
Sea air reaches America Ground, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The FSA’s data shows about 58 pubs and bars and about 15 hotels and guest houses registered in and around America Ground, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Fire safety in America Ground falls to East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run a café or takeaway near Hastings station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Where a hall near Holy Trinity Church, or anywhere in America Ground, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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’s our job.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

What else we do in America Ground
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in America Ground
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in America Ground?
Food hygiene inspections in America Ground are carried out by Hastings council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Will you come out to America Ground?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. Typically it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, we can clean just the fan. That helps when the fan needs attention before the next full clean, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
How much notice should we give?
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.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A fan that will not start
- An impeller that is bent or split
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
