About our extract fan cleaning in Normans' Bay
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we’ll tell you, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. If you are dealing with a fan coated in grease inside its housing and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, we can help, from centrifugal fans, discharge points and axial fans onwards.
Somewhere as small as Normans' Bay, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.

The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. In a small place like Normans' Bay, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- 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
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us where we can park and unload

What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and blades
Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
Normans' Bay questions
Does being near the coast affect extract fan cleaning in Normans' Bay?
It can. Salt air reaches Normans' Bay, which is within about 1 mile of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Do you cover smaller places like Normans' Bay?
Yes, Normans' Bay is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, it should be. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: every 3, 6 or 12 months. Some fans need attention sooner.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Common problems we fix in Normans' Bay
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing where the spinning blades spread it around.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Bexhill Hospital about 4 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:

- Travel, parking and unloading
- What state the system is in
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
