Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Broyle Side
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing, and that is what we clean. The work covers discharge points, centrifugal fans and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are a fan shaking on its mounts and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles.
For a kitchen in or near Broyle Side, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Long cooking hours mean more grease reaches the fan. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, and anything we cannot reach is recorded.

Kitchen extracts in Broyle Side
Look up Broyle Side on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Broyle Side and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Fire safety in Broyle Side falls to East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Broyle Side, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Lewes council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Lewes Victoria Hospital about 4 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Glyndebourne is about 1.7 miles south), access may need planning.

- Site rules, permits and inductions

What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- A few general shots of the system
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Broyle Side run smoothly.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A motor that has burnt out
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan housings
- Discharge points
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
- Axial fans
- Roof-mounted fans
Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Broyle Side
A greasy fan in Broyle Side is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin or anywhere around Broyle Side, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

FAQs for Broyle Side
Do you cover smaller places like Broyle Side?
Yes, Broyle Side is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who inspects food businesses in Broyle Side?
The local authority for Broyle Side is Lewes council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Grease on the blades and housing is one of the usual causes, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
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.
