How we handle extract fan cleaning in Bevendean
If the extract fan in Bevendean has become noisy, weak or greasy? Tell us about it when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and you will get a fixed price, normally within one working day. If you’re dealing with a fan shaking on its mounts and a motor area thick with grease, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Bevendean, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
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.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
Extract fan cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A fan that won’t start
- Wiring faults to the fan
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.

How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Bevendean, so let us know how to reach it.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- 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.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Report rattles or humming early
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
Different parts, different methods
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. We get to them through the duct or casing after isolating them.
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Bevendean: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Bevendean?
East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Bevendean. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Bevendean in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 33 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Bevendean. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
With the fan isolated, the extract is not running. That is why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. As a guide, it takes an hour or two for most single fans.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
What we’re called out for in Bevendean
A greasy fan in Bevendean is fuel at the end of the duct. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Burning smells from the fan area
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Brighton General Hospital is the nearest hospital to Bevendean, about 0.9 miles south-west.

Bevendean kitchens: local notes
The coast is only about 2 miles from Bevendean. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency data counts about 78 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 37 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bevendean. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Bevendean sits within the area of 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.
A kitchen near Moulsecoomb station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Church and community hall kitchens, near Holy Nativity Community Project or anywhere around Bevendean, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
