Mount Pleasant: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Mount Pleasant?
Fire safety enforcement in Mount Pleasant is handled by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you get to a site in Mount Pleasant?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Mount Pleasant included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
It takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes, and that’s how we prefer to work. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Mount Pleasant
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract fans since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. Typical jobs include thick grease on the impeller and casing and burning smells from the fan area, across axial fans, fan housings and in-line fans.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we’re called out for in Mount Pleasant
A greasy fan in Mount Pleasant is fuel at the end of the duct. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire, and a hot, struggling motor does not help.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Rough running from the extract fan
School kitchens, at schools like Barcombe Church of England Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Questions to ask before booking
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the price is fixed
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Discharge points
- Axial fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Fan housings

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Report grease escaping from the fan
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
Grease, kitchens and Mount Pleasant
The fire and rescue service for Mount Pleasant 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. We cover Mount Pleasant, about 40 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Mount Pleasant is Uckfield Community Hospital, about 4.2 miles north-east. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Bartholomews or elsewhere in Mount Pleasant, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Mount Pleasant is about 4 miles north of Lewes, in East Sussex. From the centre of Mount Pleasant to the outskirts, we cover extract fan cleaning for every kind of premises, from small sites to large estates. Our area takes in 289 places across East Sussex, from busy centres to quieter spots. There’s also a page for Brighton, roughly 10 miles from Mount Pleasant.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
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. After that, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Somewhere like Mount Pleasant, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
