For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Pease Pottage
Any fan serving a kitchen in Pease Pottage 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. The work covers axial fans, roof-mounted fans and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are hot, greasy smells near the fan and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan.
For a smaller kitchen near Pease Pottage, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. For a place like Pease Pottage, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Pease Pottage
Can you come to Pease Pottage after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Pease Pottage keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you work in villages like Pease Pottage?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Pease Pottage included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it can’t start while we work. With the extract off, the kitchen can’t cook, so we work out of hours.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Grease on the blades and housing is one of the usual causes, because it unbalances the fan. It can also be wear in the bearings or motor, which our report will flag.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Common problems we fix in Pease Pottage
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A motor area thick with grease
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Discovery New School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- What insurance they carry
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Report rattles or humming early
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Keep access to the fan clear
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
Part by part
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, and anything we can’t reach is recorded.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

Why it’s worth doing now in Pease Pottage
A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. Booking now means the visit to Pease Pottage is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
