The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Different parts, different methods
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Grease, kitchens and Hailsham
The Food Standards Agency lists about 8 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses in Hailsham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Food hygiene inspections in Hailsham are the job of Wealden council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Hailsham is covered by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Hailsham (Horselunges Manor is about 1.5 miles north), fitting access panels needs care. A hospital like Amberstone Hospital, about 1.5 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Hailsham Community College tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:

Why act early in Hailsham
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. In a town like Hailsham, a problem caught early is a planned visit, not an emergency.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

What happens on the day
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. For a site in a town like Hailsham, tell us your opening hours, where we can park and how we reach the roof or plant.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
FAQs for Hailsham
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Hailsham?
Food hygiene inspections in Hailsham are carried out by Wealden council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you work overnight in Hailsham?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. File it with your other extract records.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. Anything that can’t be reached is recorded, so you always know what was cleaned.

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
