Kitchen extracts in Lunsford's Cross
Sea air reaches Lunsford's Cross, 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. Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Lunsford's Cross, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Lunsford's Cross are the job of Wealden council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

Questions from Lunsford's Cross
Can sea air affect extract fan cleaning in Lunsford's Cross?
It can. Salt air reaches Lunsford's Cross, which is within about 3 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. A fan housing that’s rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Lunsford's Cross?
Lunsford's Cross is in the area of 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.
Do you cover Lunsford's Cross?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Lunsford's Cross included.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What a clean won’t put right
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. In a small place like Lunsford's Cross, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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, next to our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.

- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
