Maynard's Green extract fan cleaning
One call covers extract fan cleaning in Maynard's Green, from survey to sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.

- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Maynard's Green
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. We are often asked to deal with weak extraction at the canopy and an extract fan with no cleaning record, across centrifugal fans, roof-mounted fans and fan housings.
For a kitchen in or near Maynard's Green, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Maynard's Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
Related advice
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Maynard's Green
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Maynard's Green as anywhere. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor does not help.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
Church and community hall kitchens, near Christ Church or anywhere around Maynard's Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the price is fixed

For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A fan that won’t start
- Wiring faults to the fan
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers

Common questions in Maynard's Green
Who is the fire and rescue service for Maynard's Green?
That is East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work overnight in Maynard's Green?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Maynard's Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, if the fan needs it. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
The fan must be isolated, for safety. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking isn’t affected.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Grease, kitchens and Maynard's Green
The FSA’s data shows about 3 pubs and bars registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Maynard's Green. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Maynard's Green is covered by 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. It’s Wealden council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Maynard's Green. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
