Extract fan cleaning in Muddles Green, East Sussex
Extract fan cleaning in Muddles Green from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. We also repair and replace extract fans, 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.
About our extract fan cleaning in Muddles Green
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. If you have weak extraction at the canopy and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Muddles Green, 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, whatever the size of the place.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What affects the quote in Muddles Green
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- What state the system is in
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A fan that will not start
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover

What happens on the day
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. In a small place like Muddles Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear loose items from the work area

How the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Regular cleans help it keep going.
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: chips, distortion or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
Grease, kitchens and Muddles Green
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Muddles Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Muddles Green. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Wealden council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Muddles Green. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Chiddingly Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Muddles Green (Horselunges Manor is about 2.2 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care. Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church or anywhere around Muddles Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
