Extract fan cleaning in Bachelor's Bump
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing and we clean it off. We are often asked to deal with rough running from the extract fan and less air being pulled from the kitchen, on centrifugal fans, axial fans and discharge points.
In a village or hamlet like Bachelor's Bump, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Somewhere like Bachelor's Bump, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear the space around the work

Related advice
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Bachelor's Bump
Who inspects food businesses in Bachelor's Bump?
That is Hastings council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Bachelor's Bump. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can sea air affect extract fan cleaning in Bachelor's Bump?
It can, as Bachelor's Bump is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it can’t run during the clean. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
An unbalanced impeller, typically from uneven grease, is a common cause. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, if the fan needs it. We’ll often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan normally means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
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.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
For extract fan cleaning in Bachelor's Bump, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- A fan that will not start
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Grease, kitchens and Bachelor's Bump
Bachelor's Bump lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 hotels and B&Bs across Bachelor's Bump and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Bachelor's Bump is covered by 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.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Bachelor's Bump is Conquest Hospital, about 2.3 miles west. School kitchens, at schools like The Hastings Academy for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Christ Apostolic Church Hastings or elsewhere in Bachelor's Bump, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Why deal with it now?
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
