About our extract fan cleaning in Burwash
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. A thorough clean removes the cause. If you have an extract fan with no cleaning record and a fan that no longer moves enough air, we can help, from centrifugal fans, discharge points and fan housings onwards.
In a small place like Burwash, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Part by part
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so the method is planned in advance. If it cannot be reached fully, the report says so.
Fan housings and motors
Motors and their electrics are kept dry and treated with care, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
Questions from Burwash
Can the work in Burwash be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Burwash keeps running as normal. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you get to a site in Burwash?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
An unbalanced impeller, usually from uneven grease, is a common cause. After cleaning, we will tell you if wear or damage is also involved.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and if it fails outright, our 24/7 emergency line is there.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
A single accessible fan doesn’t take long, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. If a fan cannot be reached, the report says so, so the record is accurate.
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Common problems we fix in Burwash
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A motor area thick with grease
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
For schools such as Burwash CofE School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Burwash
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes an hour or two for most single fans, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Somewhere like Burwash, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

At about 40 miles from central London, Burwash sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
