Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Green Street
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 we plan that during the survey. If you have a fan that hums, whines or rumbles and burning smells from the fan area, we can help, from axial fans, roof-mounted fans and in-line fans onwards.
Work in a small place like Green Street starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Common problems we fix in Green Street
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. When filters do not seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
Commuter trade near Crowhurst station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

Grease, kitchens and Green Street
Green Street is within about 3 miles of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The FSA’s data shows about 4 pubs and bars registered across Green Street and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. The fire and rescue service for Green Street is 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.
Where a hall near The Parish Church of St George, or anywhere in Green Street, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Bexhill Hospital (about 2.5 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What else we do in Green Street
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Never cook with a filter missing
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
What affects the quote in Green Street
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How easy every part is to reach
- How big the system is
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is

Common questions in Green Street
Who is the fire and rescue service for Green Street?
Fire safety enforcement in Green Street is handled by 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 clean school canteen extracts around Green Street out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Green Street. You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, it should be. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
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.
Do you cover Green Street?
Yes. Our technicians work in Green Street, within the South East and London area we cover.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Part by part
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Regular cleans help it keep going.
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Visits to a village like Green Street are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
The fan is part of the fire path. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. It’s simpler to plan the work at Green Street now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
