Extract Fan Cleaning in Cade Street
Extract fan cleaning across Cade Street and nearby, booked around your opening hours and signed off in writing with photos.
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
Extract fan cleaning in Cade Street, done properly
Not all extract fans are the same: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. If you have less air being pulled from the kitchen and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, we can help.
In a small place like Cade Street, 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- How big the system is
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- What state the system is in
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Cade Street
Food Standards Agency data counts about 15 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Cade Street. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Cade Street is covered by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. It’s Wealden council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Cade Street. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Cade Street, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. For schools such as Heathfield Community College, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Landmarks near Cade Street
Around Cade Street, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Parkside Community Primary School and The Star Inn. Well-known places in the area include Hellingly Hospital (5.5 miles south) and Old Castle (3.6 miles east). The countryside around Cade Street includes Selwyns Wood.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.

What we are called out for in Cade Street
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
What we are most often called out for:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Cade Street (Bateman's is about 4.7 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.
What your quote should include
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- When the next visit should be, and why
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-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. Visits to a village like Cade Street are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

What happens if it’s left?
A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Many fan problems start with grease, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. A fault that closes a site in a village like Cade Street affects everyone who depends on it.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Report grease escaping from the fan
When we have finished, the fan is reassembled and run. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
FAQs for Cade Street
Do you cover smaller places like Cade Street?
Yes. Cade Street is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which environmental health team covers Cade Street?
That’s Wealden council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Cade Street. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, it should be. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
How long is a fan clean?
Allow an hour or two for most single fans. Your quote will give an idea.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
