About our extract fan cleaning in Friar's Hill
Any fan serving a kitchen in Friar's Hill is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. If you are dealing with fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and a fan coated in grease inside its housing, we can help, from roof-mounted fans, fan housings and centrifugal fans onwards.
Somewhere as small as Friar's Hill, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What affects the quote in Friar's Hill
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Friar's Hill before we set off.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Friar's Hill
Friar's Hill is within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Look up Friar's Hill on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Friar's Hill, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Friar's Hill is covered by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Laurence's Church or elsewhere in Friar's Hill, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. A hospital like Conquest Hospital, about 3.1 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Friar's Hill
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Friar's Hill in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Friar's Hill. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you cover smaller places like Friar's Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, where it makes sense. We’ll often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan usually means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
A clean will not mend wear. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Different parts, different methods
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so we plan how to reach and clean them. If it cannot be reached fully, the report says so.
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 we clean what we safely can.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Common problems we fix in Friar's Hill
A greasy fan in Friar's Hill is fuel at the end of the duct. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Guestling Bradshaw Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Friar's Hill, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
