Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Mayfield
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. The work covers axial fans, in-line fans and centrifugal fans, and people most often call us about a noisy fan that has got louder over time and a fan that no longer moves enough air.
Somewhere as small as Mayfield, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes an hour or two for most single fans. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Mayfield before we set off.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Questions from Mayfield
Do you work overnight in Mayfield?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Mayfield?
Mayfield is in the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Mayfield
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Grease, kitchens and Mayfield
Mayfield sits within the area of East 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 Mayfield 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Mayfield Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St. Dunstan, or anywhere in Mayfield, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Mayfield
A fan clean in Mayfield doesn’t 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. Somewhere as small as Mayfield, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Mayfield
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan, wearing bearings and mounts. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A motor area thick with grease
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Burning smells from the fan area
Historic houses near Mayfield, such as Wadhurst Castle about 4.3 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
