Extract Fan Cleaning in Flackley Ash
Extract fan cleaning in Flackley Ash from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A motor area thick with grease
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
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.

FAQs for Flackley Ash
Which environmental health team covers Flackley Ash?
In Flackley Ash, it’s Rother council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Flackley Ash?
Flackley Ash is in the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: every 3, 6 or 12 months. A noisy or heavily coated fan may need it sooner.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. If a fan can’t be reached, the report says so, so the record is accurate.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, because it unbalances the fan. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Part by part
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.
Impellers and blades
Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
When to call us in Flackley Ash
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan shaking on its mounts
School kitchens, at schools like Peasmarsh Church of England Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Visits to a village like Flackley Ash are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
