How we handle extract fan cleaning in Beckley Furnace
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but a fan can also need attention on its own, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. The work covers roof-mounted fans, discharge points and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are grease escaping from the fan outlet and burning smells from the fan area.
In a small place like Beckley Furnace, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Beckley Furnace?
A fan in Beckley Furnace builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Beckley Furnace is Conquest Hospital, about 5.6 miles south.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Somewhere as small as Beckley Furnace, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The condition of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted

Grease, kitchens and Beckley Furnace
Food hygiene inspections in Beckley Furnace are the job of Rother council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Beckley Furnace falls to East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Great Dixter is about 2.7 miles north), access may need planning. School kitchens, at schools like Brede Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Check filters are seated before cooking
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.

Why it’s worth doing now in Beckley Furnace
A fan that sounds rough in Beckley Furnace is often telling you the extract needs a clean. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it so a full TR19 clean may be due. A planned visit to Beckley Furnace is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
