About our extract fan cleaning in Beckley
Any fan serving a kitchen in Beckley is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. The work covers axial fans, in-line fans and roof-mounted fans, and the jobs we see most are a fan that hums, whines or rumbles and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease.
Somewhere as small as Beckley, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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 photos, so each one has its own record.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Kitchen extracts in Beckley
Beckley is about 48 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Kitchens in Beckley get their food hygiene inspections from Rother council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Beckley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Great Dixter is about 2.3 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Questions from Beckley
Can the work in Beckley be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Beckley needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Beckley?
That’s Rother council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Beckley. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
It takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Your quote will give an idea.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. Anything that can’t be reached is recorded, so you always know what was cleaned.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Beckley
A fan in Beckley builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
What we are most often called out for:
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A motor area thick with grease
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
For schools such as Beckley Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

How the visit works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Beckley can be planned properly.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about parking and loading

Related advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Why deal with it now?
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger and the motor works harder. In a small place like Beckley, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
