What affects the quote in Broad Street
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The number of sites or systems
- What state the system is in
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- The postcode and the type of business
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
Extract fan cleaning in Broad Street, done properly
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we will tell you, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You’ll know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. Typical jobs include a smell of hot grease from the extract and a fan coated in grease inside its housing, across fan housings, roof-mounted fans and axial fans.
Work in a small place like Broad Street starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Broad Street
Will you come out to Broad Street?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Broad Street is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who inspects food businesses in Broad Street?
Food hygiene inspections in Broad Street are carried out by Rother council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
The fan follows the full system’s interval at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Grease readings and the fan’s condition can show it needs more.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so the site does not lose a service.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
What we are called out for in Broad Street
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing where the spinning blades spread it around.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Grease stains around the discharge
Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Nicholas or anywhere around Broad Street, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Questions to ask before you book
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether a survey comes first

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Broad Street
At about 3 miles from the coast, Broad Street is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Broad Street. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Broad Street get their food hygiene inspections from Rother council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Lamb House, about 4.1 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Broad Street; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. A hospital like Conquest Hospital, about 4.3 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Leave a clear route to the fan
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Broad Street
For a kitchen in Broad Street, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. If the fan is coated, the duct before it usually is too so a full TR19 clean may be due. In a place like Broad Street, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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 do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. In a small place like Broad Street, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear the space around the work
