Extract fan cleaning in Belmont, East Sussex

- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)

How we handle extract fan cleaning in Belmont
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we will tell you and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. If you have grease escaping from the fan outlet and a fan coated in grease inside its housing, we can put it right.
Around a smaller place like Belmont, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
- The size of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
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. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Different parts, different methods
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, and anything we can’t reach is recorded.

Kitchen extracts in Belmont
Belmont lies within about 1 mile of the sea. 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 42 pubs and bars and about 10 hotels and B&Bs registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Belmont. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Fire safety in Belmont 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.
Commuter trade near Ore station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Conquest Hospital is the nearest hospital to Belmont, about 2 miles north-west.

Common problems we fix in Belmont
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Belmont as anywhere. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
What we are most often called out for:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Emmanuel Church or elsewhere in Belmont, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before booking
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether a survey comes first
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
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 on a regular cycle.
The process
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Tell us when your site near Belmont is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Belmont questions
Is extract fan cleaning any different in a coastal place like Belmont?
It can. Salt air reaches Belmont, which is within about 1 mile of the coast, and it speeds up rust. A fan housing that’s rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Belmont?
In Belmont, it’s Hastings council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Before and after pictures go into a report, with anything we noticed. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
