Norlington extract fan cleaning

- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Norlington
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 we plan that during the survey. We are often asked to deal with a smell of hot grease from the extract and a noisy fan that has got louder over time, on roof-mounted fans, in-line fans and discharge points.
For a kitchen in or near Norlington, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Norlington
Can the work in Norlington be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Norlington does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Do you cover smaller places like Norlington?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
An unbalanced impeller, typically from uneven grease, is a common cause. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: every 3, 6 or 12 months. A noisy or heavily coated fan may need it sooner.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before we start.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Norlington
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What the work involves, part by part
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, so grease and wear build up together. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A motor that has burnt out
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Advice
Common problems we fix in Norlington
A fan in Norlington builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A fan left out of previous cleans
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Ringmer Community College and Sixth Form, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Norlington
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Norlington. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Norlington is covered by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Norlington are the job of Lewes 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Lewes Victoria Hospital (about 3.2 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Norlington (Glyndebourne is about 1.6 miles south), fitting access panels needs care.
