What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How big the system is
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any previous report or certificate
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.
Extract fan cleaning in Bishopstone
In Bishopstone, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. Typical jobs include a noisy fan that has got louder over time and an extract fan with no cleaning record, on in-line fans, centrifugal fans and discharge points.
In a village or hamlet like Bishopstone, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Grease, kitchens and Bishopstone
At about 1 mile from the coast, Bishopstone is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency records list about 14 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 takeaways in Bishopstone and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. In Bishopstone, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Lewes council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Seaford Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Where a hall near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Bishopstone, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run a café or takeaway near Bishopstone (Sussex) station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
Bishopstone is about 1 mile north-west of Seaford, in East Sussex. Whatever kind of site you run in Bishopstone, we can take on extract fan cleaning. We can work out of hours so trading isn’t interrupted. We cover 289 places across East Sussex, from busy centres to quieter spots. Brighton is in our area too, about 10 miles from Bishopstone.

Landmarks near Bishopstone
Around Bishopstone, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Castle Hill, UTC@Harbourside and St Peter's School and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Bishopstone (Sussex) station, roughly 0.8 miles south of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Arlington Castle (3.9 miles north-east) and Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital (1 mile south-west). Not far away are Firle Beacon.
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Questions from Bishopstone
Can sea air affect extract fan cleaning in Bishopstone?
It can, as Bishopstone is within about 1 mile 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.
Which fire authority looks after Bishopstone?
That is East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
You get a photo report with before and after photos of the fan. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Roof-mounted fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- Axial fans

For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
What the work involves, part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
Why act early in Bishopstone
A fan that sounds rough in Bishopstone is often telling you the extract needs a clean. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it, so it’s worth checking the whole system. A fault that closes a site in a village like Bishopstone affects everyone who depends on it.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Somewhere as small as Bishopstone, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it cannot 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
