What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- How easy every part is to reach

A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know

- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Horam
Not all extract fans are the same: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. The work covers fan housings, roof-mounted fans and in-line fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan left out of previous cleans and a fan coated in grease inside its housing.
For a kitchen in or near Horam, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
FAQs for Horam
Can the work in Horam be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Horam needn’t be disturbed. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like Horam?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures of the fan. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
What’s TR19?
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 law, but it’s the benchmark.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use. Some fans need attention sooner.
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 where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site and its opening hours.

We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Why it’s worth doing now in Horam
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen can’t cook safely. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Extract fan cleaning around Horam
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Horam and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. The fire and rescue service for Horam is East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Horam get their food hygiene inspections from Wealden council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Where a hall near Christ Church, or anywhere in Horam, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Horam is Hellingly Hospital Railway, about 3.1 miles south. For schools such as Maynards Green Community Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

How the job changes from site to site
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. That’s what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Horam can be planned properly.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
