How the job changes from site to site
Wall fans
Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
About our extract fan cleaning in Hale Green
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. The way in depends on the type, and we plan that during the survey. If you’re dealing with grease stains around the discharge and grease around the motor and its mounts, we can help.
In a small place like Hale Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What we’re called out for in Hale Green
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A heavily greased fan housing
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Hale Green is Hellingly Hospital Railway, about 2.7 miles south-east.

Common questions in Hale Green
Can you come to Hale Green after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Hale Green can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you cover smaller places like Hale Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Hale Green is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, we can clean just the fan. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hale Green
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Extract fan cleaning around Hale Green
Hale Green sits within the area of 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. About 43 miles out from central London, Hale Green is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Horselunges Manor is about 2.4 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church, or anywhere in Hale Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Hale Green is one of 289 towns, villages and districts in East Sussex we cover for commercial clients. For sites nearby, see our Brighton page (16 miles or so).

How the visit works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up, and we clear up before we go. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Hale Green.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Keep records of every fan clean
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
