Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Kingston near Lewes
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract fans since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. Common call-outs are for a heavily greased fan housing and a motor area thick with grease, across discharge points, axial fans and centrifugal fans.
In a village or hamlet like Kingston near Lewes, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The size of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Kingston near Lewes questions
Can the work in Kingston near Lewes be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Kingston near Lewes keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Kingston near Lewes?
That’s East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?

Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Fan repair and replacement is part of what we do. If we find wear or damage, we will explain it and send you a fixed quote.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you cover Kingston near Lewes?
Yes. We cover Kingston near Lewes and the rest of East Sussex, within our South East and London area. To book, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Why act early in Kingston near Lewes
A fan clean in Kingston near Lewes does not take long: it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Waiting adds vibration, wear and a harder clean. In a place like Kingston near Lewes, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Why book with us
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
- A written report with photos after every visit
- We diagnose before we treat
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Report rattles or humming early
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Make sure the fan is included each time
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
Extract fan cleaning in Kingston near Lewes: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 7 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Kingston near Lewes. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. It’s Lewes council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Kingston near Lewes. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Kingston near Lewes is East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Anne of Cleves House is about 1.5 miles north-east), 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 Iford and Kingston Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Kingston near Lewes, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Lewes Victoria Hospital about 1.4 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. For a village or hamlet like Kingston near Lewes, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- 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
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
