Extract fan cleaning in Halland, East Sussex
Professional extract fan cleaning in and around Halland, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and pictures.
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Extract fan cleaning in Halland, done properly
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A heart under strain works harder for less. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look so you get a clean bill of health. Typical jobs include a fan that hums, whines or rumbles and weak extraction at the canopy, on roof-mounted fans, in-line fans and centrifugal fans.
For a kitchen in or near Halland, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Halland.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Related advice
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Halland
Will you come out to Halland?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which council inspects kitchens in Halland?
Food hygiene inspections in Halland 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.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
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 rather than letting it spread.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
When to call us in Halland
How fast a fan gets greasy in Halland depends on the cooking: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A heavily greased fan housing
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Glyndebourne is about 4.8 miles south-west), access may need planning.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the quote shows VAT
Halland kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Halland and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Fire safety in Halland falls to East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. In Halland, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Wealden council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Halland is Uckfield Community Hospital, about 2.8 miles north-west. Term dates shape school work: for a school like East Hoathly CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Different parts, different methods
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.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
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.
Keep the route to the fan clear. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy every part is to reach
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
If you need extract fan cleaning in Halland, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send photos or your last report if you can. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
