High Hurstwood extract fan cleaning
Professional extract fan cleaning in and around High Hurstwood, booked around your opening hours and signed off in writing with pictures.
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
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.
About our extract fan cleaning in High Hurstwood
In High Hurstwood, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. The work covers axial fans, roof-mounted fans and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are a motor area thick with grease and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan.
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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Part by part
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing, once they’re isolated.
Grease, kitchens and High Hurstwood
At about 35 miles from central London, High Hurstwood sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Food hygiene inspections in High Hurstwood are the job of Wealden council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Holy Trinity Church or elsewhere in High Hurstwood, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. 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 High Hurstwood, about 2.7 miles north-east. Term dates shape school work: for a school like High Hurstwood Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Why it’s worth doing now in High Hurstwood
A fan that sounds rough in High Hurstwood is often telling you the extract needs a clean. If the fan is coated, the duct before it usually is too, so it’s worth checking the whole system. If the system at a site near High Hurstwood fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in High Hurstwood
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Parking and loading at the site
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in High Hurstwood knowing what to expect.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

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.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
