Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Crowhurst
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a fan can also need attention on its own, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. If you are dealing with burning smells from the fan area and a fan that has never been cleaned, we can help.
In a small place like Crowhurst, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
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.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Crowhurst
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How easy every part is to reach
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
How the visit works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Crowhurst.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
Grease, kitchens and Crowhurst
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses across Crowhurst and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. In Crowhurst, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Rother council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Crowhurst sits within the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Bexhill Hospital (about 2.8 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Where a hall near The Parish Church of St George, or anywhere in Crowhurst, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. For kitchens close to Crowhurst station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
Crowhurst is about 3 miles north-west of Hastings, in East Sussex. Wherever you are in the TN33 postcode area, we can carry out extract fan cleaning at your premises. Across East Sussex, we cover 289 places, Crowhurst among them. For sites nearby, see our Maidstone page (26 miles or so).

Local landmarks in Crowhurst
Around Crowhurst, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near The Plough Inn and Claverham Community College and the streets around them.

The countryside around Crowhurst includes Church Wood and Robsack Wood and Senlac Hill.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- File the fan’s report with your other records
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- Wiring faults to the fan
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan housings
- Centrifugal fans
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
- In-line fans
- Axial fans
Part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface and we check the area around the outlet. We note any grease around the fan.
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. We clean it along with the blades.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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. Leave those to us.

What else we do in Crowhurst
Common questions in Crowhurst
Will you come out to Crowhurst?
Yes. Crowhurst 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.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Crowhurst?
East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Crowhurst. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen can’t cook while we work. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Uneven grease on the impeller often causes it. After cleaning, we’ll tell you if wear or damage is also involved.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
