Camber extract fan cleaning
Looking for extract fan cleaning in Camber? We survey first, give you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, finishing with a written report and photos.
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Camber.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.

About our extract fan cleaning in Camber
We have been trading since 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers fan housings, axial fans and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and thick grease on the impeller and casing.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. 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 photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- An impeller that is bent or split
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
- Axial fans

- Fan housings
- Centrifugal fans

Different parts, different methods
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
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.
Kitchen extracts in Camber
Camber is within about 1 mile of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The FSA’s data shows about 4 pubs and bars registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Camber. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Camber. 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Thomas the Apostle or elsewhere in Camber, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Camber: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Camber?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Camber can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire authority looks after Camber?
East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Camber. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. If a fan cannot be reached, the report says so, so you always know what was cleaned.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
We always isolate the fan first, so it can’t run during the clean. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
Allow a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. We will confirm the time when we quote.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
You get a photo report with before and after photos of the fan. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
Why act early in Camber
For a kitchen in Camber, 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 Camber, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.

What we’re called out for in Camber
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Weak extraction at the canopy
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Lamb House is about 2.8 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether VAT is included
- Proof of insurance
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
