Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Pevensey
A clean fan isn’t a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. Typical jobs include vibration from an unbalanced impeller and a fan coated in grease inside its housing, across roof-mounted fans, discharge points and centrifugal fans.
In a small place like Pevensey, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

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, once they’re isolated.
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: cracks, bent blades or wear. We note any concerns.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Pevensey
Can the work in Pevensey be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Can sea air affect extract fan cleaning in Pevensey?
It can. Being within about 1 mile of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Pevensey than inland. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, if the fan needs it. We’ll often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan normally means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
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.
Pevensey kitchens: local notes
At about 1 mile from the coast, Pevensey is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. There are about 17 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 sandwich bars and takeaways across Pevensey and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Pevensey sits within the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Pevensey is Eastbourne District General Hospital, about 3.8 miles south-west. Commuter trade near Pevensey Bay station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St. Nicolas Church or elsewhere in Pevensey, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Pevensey is about 3 miles north-east of Eastbourne, in East Sussex. Across the BN24 area, we can carry out extract fan cleaning at your premises. 289 places in East Sussex are on our list, large and small. For sites nearby, see our Brighton page, about 20 miles away.
All of BN24 is within our area for extract fan cleaning, from busy streets to back roads.

The countryside around Pevensey includes Gillham Wood and Combe Hill.
When something else is needed
Extract fan cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A motor that has burnt out
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
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, alongside our reports.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
File the photo report with your other extract records. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Pevensey, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Leave it or put it right?
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen can’t cook safely. Many fan problems start with grease, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
