Extract Fan Cleaning in Ninfield
Professional extract fan cleaning in and around Ninfield, booked around your opening hours and signed off in writing with pictures.
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
Extract fan cleaning in Ninfield
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a fan can also need attention on its own, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. If you are dealing with rough running from the extract fan and grease escaping from the fan outlet, we can help, from discharge points, axial fans and roof-mounted fans onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we will tell you before any work starts. It doesn’t solve:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A motor that has burnt out
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- In-line fans
- Axial fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Discharge points
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
You get before and after pictures of the impeller and housing. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Ninfield.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Move anything stored near the system

Advice
Questions from Ninfield
Do you cover smaller places like Ninfield?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Ninfield?
It’s East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Ninfield. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
A common cause is grease. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning doesn’t, the bearings or motor may need attention.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before we start.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. Anything that can’t be reached is recorded, so you always know what was cleaned.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
Extract fan cleaning around Ninfield
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Ninfield, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Ninfield. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Kitchens in Ninfield get their food hygiene inspections from Wealden council. 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.
For schools such as Ninfield Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Mary or anywhere around Ninfield, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Ninfield
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The size of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Putting the work off seldom saves money. 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, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What the work involves, part by part
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so the method is planned in advance. Anything out of reach is recorded.
Fan housings and motors
Motors and their electrics are kept dry and treated with care, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so we clean what we safely can.

Common problems we fix in Ninfield
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. The difference throws the impeller off balance and puts strain on the bearings. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A heavily greased fan housing
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
A hospital like Bexhill Hospital, about 3.5 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
