How we handle extract fan cleaning in Sedlescombe
Grease on a fan isn’t spread evenly. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. A thorough clean removes the cause. Common call-outs are for an extract fan with no cleaning record and vibration from an unbalanced impeller, on centrifugal fans, fan housings and axial fans.
Work in a small place like Sedlescombe starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Sedlescombe: your questions answered
Can you come to Sedlescombe after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Sedlescombe doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which council inspects kitchens in Sedlescombe?
In Sedlescombe, it’s Rother council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
You get a photo report with before and after photos of the fan. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Normally not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
An unbalanced impeller, normally from uneven grease, is a common cause. After cleaning, we will tell you if wear or damage is also involved.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Why act early in Sedlescombe
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen can’t cook safely. Many fan problems start with grease, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. It’s simpler to plan the work at Sedlescombe now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.

How we price extract fan cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The condition of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- A few general shots of the system
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Kitchen extracts in Sedlescombe
Kitchens in Sedlescombe get their food hygiene inspections from Rother council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Sedlescombe is East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St John the Baptist or anywhere around Sedlescombe, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Conquest Hospital (about 3.8 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

How the visit works
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Sedlescombe knowing what to expect.
- 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.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Sedlescombe?
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan and puts strain on the bearings. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A motor area thick with grease
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
Historic houses near Sedlescombe, such as Durhamford Manor about 0.7 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
Part by part
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: chips, distortion or wear. We note any concerns.
