What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two for most single fans. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in East Dean knowing what to expect.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Extract fan cleaning in East Dean
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a fan can also need attention on its own, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. Typical jobs include a fan that no longer moves enough air and rough running from the extract fan, on discharge points, in-line fans and fan housings.
For a kitchen in or near East Dean, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to 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.
Why it’s worth doing now in East Dean
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen cannot cook safely. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. It’s simpler to plan the work at East Dean now than to arrange it in a hurry later.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Report rattles or humming early
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
File the photo report with your other extract records. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. We clean them where they can be safely reached, with any limits noted.
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
East Dean questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in East Dean?
That is Chichester council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in East Dean. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around East Dean out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around East Dean, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, we can clean just the fan. That helps when the fan needs attention before the next full clean, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Will I get photos 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.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in East Dean
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around East Dean, up to about a mile and a half out. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Fire safety in East Dean falls to West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. In East Dean, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Chichester 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of All Saints or elsewhere in East Dean, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Chichester Centre is the nearest hospital to East Dean, about 5 miles south-west. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (West Dean House is about 2.6 miles west), access may need planning.
