What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Netherfield
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. If you are dealing with a fan shaking on its mounts and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease, we can help, from discharge points, centrifugal fans and in-line fans onwards.
Work in a small place like Netherfield starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What else we do in Netherfield
Common problems we fix in Netherfield
A fan in Netherfield builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A motor area thick with grease
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
For schools such as Netherfield CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What affects the quote in Netherfield
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
When it’s something else
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans

Why deal with it now?
A fan clean in Netherfield doesn’t take long: it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. If the system at a site near Netherfield fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

How the job changes from site to site
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.
Grease, kitchens and Netherfield
East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Netherfield. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s Rother council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Netherfield. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Historic houses near Netherfield, such as Durhamford Manor about 3.3 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John or elsewhere in Netherfield, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

How it works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. Somewhere like Netherfield, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

FAQs for Netherfield
Do you work at weekends in Netherfield?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Netherfield can fit around your hours. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Netherfield?
East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Netherfield. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, because it unbalances the fan. It can also be wear in the bearings or motor, which our report will flag.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen cannot cook while we work. That’s why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
The fan follows the full system’s interval, from every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours of cooking a day to every 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
