- The condition we find in the survey
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. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

About our extract fan cleaning in Jenkins' Green
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 noisy fan that has got louder over time and a fan coated in grease inside its housing, on axial fans, roof-mounted fans and centrifugal fans.
In a small place like Jenkins' Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Grease, kitchens and Jenkins' Green
Sea air reaches Jenkins' Green, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Look up Jenkins' Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 11 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Jenkins' Green. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Kitchens in Jenkins' Green get their food hygiene inspections from Wealden council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Jenkins' Green is Eastbourne District General Hospital, about 3.1 miles south-west. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Michelham Priory is about 4.8 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Hankham Primary School or anywhere near Jenkins' Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. For a village or hamlet like Jenkins' Green, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.

Common questions in Jenkins' Green
Can you get to a site in Jenkins' Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which council inspects kitchens in Jenkins' Green?
That’s Wealden council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Jenkins' Green. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. File it with your other extract records.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so you don’t have to close during trading.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do we need to close while you work?
Typically not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. 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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Towns and villages near Jenkins' Green
What else we do in Jenkins' Green
Different parts, different methods
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them and we check the area around the outlet. We note any grease around the fan.
What a clean will not put right
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- An impeller that’s bent or split
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Fan housings
- Centrifugal fans
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
- In-line fans
Leave it or put it right?
The fan is part of the fire path. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. A fault that closes a site in a village like Jenkins' Green affects everyone who depends on it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
