About our extract fan cleaning in Newhaven
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. If you have grease stains around the discharge and a fan that no longer moves enough air, we can help, from roof-mounted fans, in-line fans and discharge points onwards.
Most kitchens in a town like Newhaven can’t close for a day, so cleans are booked after closing, early in the morning or on a quiet day. By the next service, the kitchen is ready to cook in again.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Never cook with a filter missing
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.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.
When to call us in Newhaven
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. So grease often settles heavily there.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A motor area thick with grease
A hospital like Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital, about 1.2 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Before booking anyone
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. For a site in a town like Newhaven, tell us your opening hours, where we can park and how we reach the roof or plant.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- 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.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Common questions in Newhaven
Can you work in Newhaven outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Newhaven keeps running as normal. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Newhaven?
The local authority for Newhaven is Lewes council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. If a fan can’t be reached, the report says so, so you always know what was cleaned.

Part by part
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.
Grease, kitchens and Newhaven
Sea air reaches Newhaven, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency records include about 9 pubs and bars in and around Newhaven, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Newhaven. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
For schools such as UTC@Harbourside, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Where a hall near Church of St Michael and All Angels, or anywhere in Newhaven, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
