About our extract fan cleaning in Lions Green
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. Each is isolated and opened in its own way, and we plan that during the survey. We’re often asked to deal with a fan shaking on its mounts and a fan left out of previous cleans, across fan housings, in-line fans and axial fans.
In a village or hamlet like Lions Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Lions Green
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How easy every part is to reach
- How many systems or sites are involved
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The site address and the type of premises
If you need extract fan cleaning in Lions Green, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
When something else is needed
Extract fan cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t put right:
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Fan housings
- Discharge points
- Axial fans
Leave it or put it right?
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. Somewhere as small as Lions Green, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Part by part
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: chips, distortion or wear. We note any concerns.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so we plan how to reach and clean them. Anything out of reach is recorded.
Extract fan cleaning in Lions Green: the local picture
Look up Lions Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Lions Green. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Lions Green sits within the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Lions Green are the job of Wealden council’s environmental health team. 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.
A hospital like Hellingly Hospital Railway, about 4.1 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Horselunges Manor is about 4 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Lions Green is about 5 miles east of Uckfield, in East Sussex. Lions Green gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with pictures. Our East Sussex coverage runs to 289 places, and Lions Green is one of them. For sites nearby, see our Brighton page (17 miles or so).

What’s near Lions Green
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around The Star Inn. Nearby you’ll also find Tickerage Castle (3.6 miles north-west) and Sussex Farm Museum (1.2 miles east). Not far away are Selwyns Wood.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Lions Green run smoothly.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

What we’re called out for in Lions Green
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Lions Green as anywhere. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
Where a hall near The Parish Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Lions Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Before you book anyone
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether a survey comes first

Lions Green questions
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Lions Green?
That’s East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you come to Lions Green after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Lions Green needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. Typically it takes an hour or two for most single fans.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
It depends on how many hours the kitchen cooks, under BESA guidance. At the extremes, that’s 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
Do you cover Lions Green?
Yes. Our technicians work in Lions Green, within the South East and London area we cover.
