In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Burwash Common
Burwash Common, about 40 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. In Burwash Common, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Rother council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Philip's Church or elsewhere in Burwash Common, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Burwash Common (Bateman's is about 1.8 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.

What else we do in Burwash Common
Common problems we fix in Burwash Common
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan left out of previous cleans
A hospital like Ticehurst House Hospital, about 5.1 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Different parts, different methods
Fan housings and motors
Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, so grease and wear build up together. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- An impeller that is bent or split
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- A fan that will not start
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work

- In-line fans

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Visits to a village like Burwash Common are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Common questions in Burwash Common
Which fire service covers Burwash Common?
Fire safety enforcement in Burwash Common is handled by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work at weekends in Burwash Common?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
