Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Rushlake Green
A clean fan is not a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. The work covers in-line fans, roof-mounted fans and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are thick grease on the impeller and casing and burning smells from the fan area.
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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Report grease escaping from the fan
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Make sure the fan is reachable. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.

More services for Rushlake Green
Different parts, different methods
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Rushlake Green and across East Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What happens if it’s left?
The fan is part of the fire path. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- In business since 2009
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- We diagnose before we treat
What we’re called out for in Rushlake Green
A greasy fan in Rushlake 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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan shaking on its mounts
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Rushlake Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed
- What insurance they carry
- What paperwork you get at the end
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
How the visit works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Rushlake Green.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us where we can park and unload

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Extract fan cleaning around Rushlake Green
East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Rushlake Green. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Rushlake Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Wealden council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Hellingly Hospital (about 4.3 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Bateman's is about 4.2 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
