Extract fan cleaning in Hollington
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found so you get a clean bill of health. If you are dealing with a fan that hums, whines or rumbles and a fan that no longer moves enough air, we can put it right, from axial fans, roof-mounted fans and fan housings onwards.
In a smaller place like Hollington, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens on the day
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Hollington.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Part by part
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
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.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Hollington
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The number of sites or systems
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is

Kitchen extracts in Hollington
Sea air reaches Hollington, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. There are about 37 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 31 takeaways across Hollington and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Kitchens in Hollington get their food hygiene inspections from Hastings council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. 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 Hollington is Conquest Hospital, about 1.1 miles north-east. Where a hall near St Anne, or anywhere in Hollington, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Hollington Primary Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
If the fan needs more than a clean, we will say so plainly. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
