How we handle extract fan cleaning in Potter's Green
Not all extract fans are the same: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. The way in depends on the type, and we plan that during the survey. We are often asked to deal with fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and a fan coated in grease inside its housing, across centrifugal fans, axial fans and fan housings.
In a village or hamlet like Potter's Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually 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.
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. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Kitchen extracts in Potter's Green
Potter's Green is covered by 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. Potter's Green, about 37 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Uckfield Community Hospital about 2.1 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Potter's Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Potter's Green is about 2 miles north-east of Uckfield, in East Sussex. Whatever kind of site you run in Potter's Green, extract fan cleaning is something we can help with. We can work out of hours so trading is not interrupted. Our East Sussex coverage runs to 289 places, Potter's Green among them. We also work in Brighton, about 16 miles from Potter's Green.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Potter's Green
A greasy fan in Potter's Green is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
A kitchen near Buxted station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
Before booking anyone

How the job changes from site to site
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.
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: chips, distortion or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
Leave it or put it right?
For a kitchen in Potter's Green, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. If the fan is coated, the duct before it typically is too, so it’s worth checking the whole system. With notice, the visit to Potter's Green can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

What else we do in Potter's Green
Managing agents and facilities teams in Potter's Green
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
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 pictures, so records stay tidy.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.

Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. Keep it with your maintenance log.

Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Is Potter's Green in your area?

Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. 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.
What affects the quote in Potter's Green
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.
What we do, step by step
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. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Potter's Green.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- 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.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
