Dallington extract fan cleaning
One call covers extract fan cleaning in Dallington, from survey to sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.

- A smell of hot grease from the extract
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Dallington
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. A thorough clean removes the cause. The work covers in-line fans, axial fans and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are grease around the motor and its mounts and a fan coated in grease inside its housing.
Work in a small place like Dallington starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

The process
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 a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Visits to a village like Dallington are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Dallington
Can the work in Dallington be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Dallington needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Is Dallington within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Dallington included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen can’t cook while we work. That’s why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Dallington?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
How long is a fan clean?
Allow an hour or two for most single fans. Your quote will give an idea.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. File it with your other extract records.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
When something else is needed
Extract fan cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A motor that has burnt out
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How the job changes from site to site
Fan housings and motors
Motors and their electrics are kept dry and treated with care, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.

Other services in Dallington
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Dallington?
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.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Dallington Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Kitchen extracts in Dallington
At about 43 miles from central London, Dallington sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Fire safety in Dallington falls to 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.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Hellingly Hospital is the nearest hospital to Dallington, about 5.6 miles south-west. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Dallington (Bateman's is about 3.1 miles north), fitting access panels needs care.

Why it’s worth doing now in Dallington
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
