Newbury's questions
Who is the fire and rescue service for Newbury's?
Newbury's is in the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can school kitchens in Newbury's be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Newbury's, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
An unbalanced impeller, usually from uneven grease, is a common cause. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, where it makes sense. We will often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan typically means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Extract fan cleaning in Newbury's
Any fan serving a kitchen in Newbury's is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. We are often asked to deal with a noisy fan that has got louder over time and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, across centrifugal fans, fan housings and in-line fans.
In a small place like Newbury's, 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.
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.

Extract fan cleaning around Newbury's
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Newbury's. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Newbury's. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Newbury's are the job of Wealden council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Rehoboth Chapel or anywhere around Newbury's, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Ticehurst House Hospital about 2.9 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

How it works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up, and we clear up before we go. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Newbury's and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
What affects the quote in Newbury's
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The times the site is available
- What state the system is in
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Parking and loading at the site
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Part by part
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so we plan how to reach and clean them. If it can’t be reached fully, the report says so.
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface and we check the area around the outlet. We note any grease around the fan.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Run the extract throughout cooking
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.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
When to call us in Newbury's
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Uplands Community College tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether VAT is included
- When the next visit should be, and why
What a clean will not put right
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A motor that has burnt out
- Damaged fan blades
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
