Extract fan cleaning in Flowers Green: the local picture
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Flowers Green. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. The fire and rescue service for Flowers Green is East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Flowers Green get their food hygiene inspections from Wealden council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Herstmonceux Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Historic houses near Flowers Green, such as Horselunges Manor about 3.4 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Amberstone Hospital is the nearest hospital to Flowers Green, about 2.2 miles west.

About our extract fan cleaning in Flowers Green
A clean fan isn’t a repaired fan. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we’ll tell you, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You’ll know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. We’re often asked to deal with weak extraction at the canopy and a fan shaking on its mounts, on axial fans, fan housings and roof-mounted fans.
In a village or hamlet like Flowers Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.

How we price extract fan cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How big the system is
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The number of sites or systems
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The postcode and the type of business
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Different parts, different methods
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing after isolating them.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen cannot afford a fan failure. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Questions from Flowers Green
Can you come to Flowers Green after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Flowers Green needn’t be disturbed. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire service covers Flowers Green?
Flowers Green 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.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
The fan must be isolated before anyone touches it. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking isn’t affected.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Flowers Green?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before we start.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
A single accessible fan does not take long, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. We plan it out of hours.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.
How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Flowers Green.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen can’t 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. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Flowers Green rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
