Extract Fan Cleaning in Roser's Cross
Our technicians work in Roser's Cross on cleaning of kitchen extract fans, impellers, fan housings and discharge points. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A motor area thick with grease
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Roser's Cross
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. The work covers discharge points, axial fans and centrifugal fans, and the jobs we see most are weak extraction at the canopy and vibration from an unbalanced impeller.
Somewhere as small as Roser's Cross, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Grease, kitchens and Roser's Cross
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Roser's Cross. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Environmental health officers from Wealden council inspect food businesses in Roser's Cross. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Roser's Cross sits within the area of 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.

When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)

Common problems we fix in Roser's Cross
Grease condenses as the air cools, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. So grease often settles heavily there.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Roser's Cross, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Before booking anyone
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Proof of insurance
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
How we price extract fan cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Parking and loading at the site
- How big the system is
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Roser's Cross, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- 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.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
What the work involves, part by part
Wall fans
Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Roser's Cross: your questions answered
Will you come out to Roser's Cross?
Yes. Roser's Cross is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which fire service covers Roser's Cross?
Fire safety enforcement in Roser's Cross is handled by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
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.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
