Extract fan cleaning in Catsfield
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and you’ll get a fixed price, typically within one working day. Common call-outs are for an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and grease stains around the discharge, on fan housings, centrifugal fans and discharge points.
In a small place like Catsfield, 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Grease, kitchens and Catsfield
About 48 miles out from central London, Catsfield is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Catsfield is covered by 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Catsfield Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Durhamford Manor is about 4.4 miles north-east), access may need planning. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Laurence, or anywhere in Catsfield, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Catsfield is about 4 miles north of Bexhill-on-Sea, in East Sussex. Every kind of commercial site in Catsfield, extract fan cleaning is something we can help with. We can work out of hours so trading isn’t interrupted. Our area takes in 289 places across East Sussex, large and small. We also work in Brighton, about 26 miles from Catsfield.

Landmarks near Catsfield
In Catsfield, that means kitchens and buildings near Ashburnham Park, Claverham Community College and The White Hart Public House and the streets around them. Catsfield’s nearest station is Battle station, roughly 2.2 miles north-east. A little further out are Battle Museum of Local History (2 miles north-east) and Bexhill Hospital (3.4 miles south). Not far away are Church Wood and Robsack Wood and Senlac Hill.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Somewhere as small as Catsfield, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Catsfield
Which council inspects kitchens in Catsfield?
Kitchens in Catsfield are inspected by Rother council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you come to Catsfield after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Catsfield does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Catsfield?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
Every clean has a photo report, with anything we noticed. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Uneven grease on the impeller often causes it. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. If a fan can’t be reached, the report says so, so you always know what was cleaned.
Different parts, different methods
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Run the extract throughout cooking
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Catsfield knowing what to expect.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Catsfield and across East Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Catsfield
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The times the site is available
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How easy every part is to reach
- Where the site is and how we reach it
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
