About our extract fan cleaning in Mark Cross
A clean fan isn’t a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. Typical jobs include a fan coated in grease inside its housing and a smell of hot grease from the extract, across fan housings, in-line fans and axial fans.
For a kitchen in or near Mark Cross, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Mark Cross, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Mark Cross kitchens: local notes
There are about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Mark Cross, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Food hygiene inspections in Mark 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. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Mark Cross falls to East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
For schools such as Mark Cross Church of England Aided Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Mark Cross (Wadhurst Castle is about 3.2 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.

Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)

Mark Cross: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Mark Cross?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Mark Cross included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can the work in Mark Cross be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Mark Cross can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
It has to be off and isolated before anyone touches it. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking isn’t affected.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
A common cause is grease. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning does not, the bearings or motor may need attention.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We can repair or replace it, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
What we’re called out for in Mark Cross
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Mark Cross as anywhere. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Marks or elsewhere in Mark Cross, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What your quote should include
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Proof of insurance
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- How they set the interval to the next visit
What the work involves, part by part
Fan housings and motors
Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
