How we handle extract fan cleaning in Plumpton Green
In Plumpton Green, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. Common call-outs are for a fan coated in grease inside its housing and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan, across axial fans, in-line fans and discharge points.
In a village or hamlet like Plumpton Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
You get before and after photos of the impeller and housing. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
FAQs for Plumpton Green
Which environmental health team covers Plumpton Green?
That is Lewes council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Plumpton Green. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you get to a site in Plumpton Green?
Yes. Plumpton Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. If a fan can’t be reached, the report says so, so the record is accurate.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
Fan repair and replacement is part of what we do. If we find wear or damage, we will explain it and give you a fixed quote.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
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 the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Plumpton Green before we set off.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit

- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Plumpton Green
How fast a fan gets greasy in Plumpton Green depends on the cooking: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
Clients normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
School kitchens, at schools like Plumpton Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Plumpton Green
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
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 not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
