Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Pevensey Bay
A clean fan is not a repaired fan. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we will tell you and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You’ll know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. The work covers fan housings, discharge points and axial fans, and people most often call us about fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and less air being pulled from the kitchen.
Around a smaller place like Pevensey Bay, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A motor that has burnt out
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
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.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Questions from Pevensey Bay
Can sea air affect extract fan cleaning in Pevensey Bay?
It can. Salt air reaches Pevensey Bay, which is within about 1 mile of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at every visit.
Which fire authority looks after Pevensey Bay?
East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Pevensey Bay. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
Allow an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. We will confirm the time when we quote.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, we can clean just the fan. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we will book around them.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
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.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. For a site near Pevensey Bay, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Kitchen extracts in Pevensey Bay
Pevensey Bay is within about 1 mile of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Look up Pevensey Bay on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 15 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 takeaways across Pevensey Bay and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. It’s Wealden council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Pevensey Bay. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

How we price extract fan cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- How big the system is
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition of the system
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. 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.
