About our extract fan cleaning in Roedean
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. The work covers roof-mounted fans, axial fans and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are grease around the motor and its mounts and rough running from the extract fan.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Roedean kitchens: local notes
At about 1 mile from the coast, Roedean is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Look up Roedean on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 70 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 26 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Roedean. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Kitchens in Roedean get their food hygiene inspections from Brighton and Hove council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mark's Church or anywhere around Roedean, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Roedean (Royal Pavilion is about 1.9 miles west), fitting access panels needs care.
Roedean is about 2 miles east of Carlton Hill, in Brighton and Hove. For extract fan cleaning in and around Roedean, it’s easy to get a fixed quote: please ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Different parts, different methods
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
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 we clean what we safely can.
Why act early in Roedean
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller does not stay small. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. Planning a trip to Roedean ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
Why choose Duct Doctor in Roedean
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover

- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Brighton and Hove. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What we are called out for in Roedean
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Roedean as anywhere. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire, and a hot, struggling motor does not help.
Look out for any of the following:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Rough running from the extract fan
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Mark's CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. For a village or hamlet like Roedean, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Roedean: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Roedean?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Roedean included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which environmental health team covers Roedean?
Kitchens in Roedean are inspected by Brighton and Hove council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so the site doesn’t lose a service.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
