Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hartfield
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing, and that’s what we clean. The work covers discharge points, centrifugal fans and in-line fans, and the jobs we see most are a fan left out of previous cleans and grease escaping from the fan outlet.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Hartfield and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The size of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Hartfield?
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.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Mary the Virgin Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

- What insurance they carry

Hartfield kitchens: local notes
We cover Hartfield, about 29 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Hartfield. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Crowborough War Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital to Hartfield, about 4 miles south-east. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Hartfield, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Hartfield is about 4 miles north-west of Crowborough, in East Sussex. Across the TN7 area, we can take on extract fan cleaning. Across East Sussex, we cover 289 places, and Hartfield is one of them. We also work in Brighton, about 21 miles from Hartfield.
Work in TN7 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. If you need extract fan cleaning at premises on High Street, Church Street and Rectory Field or a nearby road, our technicians can take on the work. Close by, we work in Balls Green (1 mile east), Teasley Mead (3 miles north-east), Ashurst (3 miles north-east), Groombridge (3 miles east) and Stone Cross (3 miles north-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Crowborough (4 miles south-east), Uckfield (9 miles south), Heathfield (11 miles south-east), Wadhurst (10 miles east), Ridgewood (10 miles south) and Ringmer (15 miles south).

Questions from Hartfield
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Hartfield?
Hartfield is in the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you come to Hartfield after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Hartfield keeps running as normal. When you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
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.
How long is a fan clean?
One easily reached fan is quick, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it can’t start while we work. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
What the work involves, part by part
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
Why deal with it now?
The fan is part of the fire path. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. In a small place like Hartfield, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
