How the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen cannot afford a fan failure. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
About our extract fan cleaning in Kent Street
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. The work covers in-line fans, axial fans and fan housings, and common reasons people get in touch are hot, greasy smells near the fan and a motor area thick with grease.
For a kitchen in or near Kent Street, 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, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Keep access to the fan clear
- File the fan’s report with your other records
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
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.
Kent Street questions
Which fire authority looks after Kent Street?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Kent Street. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you work overnight in Kent Street?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Kent Street keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Before and after pictures go into a report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
- Any permits to work or inductions
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Kent Street knowing what to expect.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear the space around the work
How to get a quote
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Grease, kitchens and Kent Street
Kent Street is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Food hygiene inspections in Kent Street are the job of Horsham council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A TR19® clean in Kent Street doesn’t stop at the filters: the plenum, ductwork, fan and discharge are cleaned too. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like The Dene Hospital about 3.8 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
