What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Mountfield.

- 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.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.

Extract fan cleaning in Mountfield
Any fan serving a kitchen in Mountfield is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. The work covers fan housings, axial fans and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan that hums, whines or rumbles and a fan that has never been cleaned.
In a small place like Mountfield, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Leave it or put it right?
The fan is part of the fire path. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Somewhere as small as Mountfield, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
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’ll talk you through it.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Common problems we fix in Mountfield
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A motor area thick with grease
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Burning smells from the fan area
Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of All Saints or anywhere around Mountfield, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Comparing quotes
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded

Mountfield: your questions answered
Can a school canteen extract in Mountfield be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Mountfield. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll fit the work in.
Which council inspects kitchens in Mountfield?
The local authority for Mountfield is Rother council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum in BESA guidance. At the extremes, that is 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. Typically it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach.
Do you work in Mountfield?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Mountfield included.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Uneven grease on the impeller often causes it. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.

So the system stays in good health:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Make sure the fan is reachable. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
