Extract Fan Cleaning in Punnett's Town
For cleaning of kitchen extract fans, impellers, fan housings and discharge points in Punnett's Town, one call is all it takes, from survey to sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
How the job changes from site to site
Wall fans
Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. We clean it along with the blades.
Extract fan cleaning in Punnett's Town
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we will tell you, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. Typical jobs include a fan shaking on its mounts and a fan that no longer moves enough air, on axial fans, centrifugal fans and fan housings.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Why deal with it now?
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Planning a trip to Punnett's Town ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- A motor that has burnt out
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Extract fan cleaning in Punnett's Town: the local picture
At about 41 miles from central London, Punnett's Town sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Punnett's Town is covered by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
For schools such as Punnetts Town Community Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Historic houses near Punnett's Town, such as Bateman's about 3.6 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Hellingly Hospital (about 5.3 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
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.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Punnett's Town run smoothly.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear loose items from the work area

Advice
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Punnett's Town
Which fire service covers Punnett's Town?
East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Punnett's Town. 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.
Can you get to a site in Punnett's Town?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
A clean won’t mend wear. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
