About our extract fan cleaning in Coggins Mill
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. If you’re dealing with rough running from the extract fan and burning smells from the fan area, we can help, from fan housings, discharge points and axial fans onwards.
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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Different parts, different methods
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Regular cleans help it keep going.
How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Visits to a village like Coggins Mill are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.

Questions from Coggins Mill
Which fire authority looks after Coggins Mill?
It’s East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Coggins Mill. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you cover smaller places like Coggins Mill?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Coggins Mill is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use. A noisy or heavily coated fan may need it sooner.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Cleaning removes grease, but it cannot fix worn parts. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
A common cause is grease. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning doesn’t, the bearings or motor may need attention.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures of the fan. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Coggins Mill?
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. When filters do not seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A motor area thick with grease
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan shaking on its mounts
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Mayfield Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Coggins Mill, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Leave it or put it right?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the motor runs under more strain. Somewhere as small as Coggins Mill, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
