Extract fan cleaning in Peasmarsh, done properly
In Peasmarsh, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. The work covers axial fans, in-line fans and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and a fan left out of previous cleans.
Work in a small place like Peasmarsh starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Peasmarsh questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Peasmarsh?
The local authority for Peasmarsh is Rother council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you work in villages like Peasmarsh?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures of the fan. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
The fan follows the full system’s interval at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Why deal with it now?
A fan that sounds rough in Peasmarsh is often telling you the extract needs a clean. If the fan is coated, the duct before it typically is too, so it’s worth checking the whole system. Somewhere as small as Peasmarsh, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Kitchen extracts in Peasmarsh
Kitchens in Peasmarsh get their food hygiene inspections from Rother council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Peasmarsh is East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Peasmarsh, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Peasmarsh Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Lamb House, about 2.5 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Peasmarsh; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
You get before and after pictures of the impeller and housing. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
Extract fan cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- A fan that won’t start
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Peasmarsh can be planned properly.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- 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.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear the space around the work

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Part by part
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing after isolating them.
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface, so the outlet area is checked too. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
