Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Milton Street
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Milton Street?
Milton Street 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.
Which council inspects kitchens in Milton Street?
Food hygiene inspections in Milton Street are carried out by Wealden council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. File it with your other extract records.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, we can clean just the fan. That helps when the fan needs attention before the next full clean, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.

How the job changes from site to site
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing, once they’re isolated.
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.

Grease, kitchens and Milton Street
Look up Milton Street on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Milton Street. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Food hygiene inspections in Milton Street are the job of Wealden council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Milton Street is 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.
School kitchens, at schools like Alfriston School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Alfriston Clergy House is about 1.1 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Why deal with it now?
A fan that sounds rough in Milton Street is often telling you the extract needs a clean. If the fan is coated, the duct before it usually is too so a full TR19 clean may be due. In a small place like Milton Street, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Milton Street before we set off.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
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, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

How we price extract fan cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What we’re called out for in Milton Street
A greasy fan in Milton Street is fuel at the end of the duct. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A motor area thick with grease
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Mary and St Peter's Church, or anywhere in Milton Street, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Before booking anyone
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the figure could change on the day
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A motor that has burnt out
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
