Extract fan cleaning in Denton, East Sussex
One call covers extract fan cleaning in Denton: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Weak extraction at the canopy
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Denton
Not all extract fans are the same: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. The way in depends on the type and the survey shows us how to reach it. The work covers discharge points, centrifugal fans and in-line fans, and the jobs we see most are grease escaping from the fan outlet and a smell of hot grease from the extract.
In a smaller place like Denton, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
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, and we’re fully insured.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Denton
Do you cover smaller places like Denton?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Denton is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Denton?
Fire safety enforcement in Denton is handled by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. Anything that cannot be reached is recorded, so the record is accurate.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
When to call us in Denton
Grease condenses as the air cools, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. So grease often settles heavily there.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
Where a hall near Church of St Leonard, or anywhere in Denton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a survey comes first
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
The process
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. In a place like Denton, we fit the visit around your hours.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Denton kitchens: local notes
Denton lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. There are about 20 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 5 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Denton, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Environmental health officers from Lewes council inspect food businesses in Denton. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run a café or takeaway near Newhaven Town station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital (about 1.5 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Denton
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Leave it or put it right?
The fan is part of the fire path. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. A planned visit to Denton fits your hours; an emergency doesn’t.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
