Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Snagshall
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. If you have less air being pulled from the kitchen and a motor area thick with grease, we can help, from in-line fans, axial fans and discharge points onwards.
Work in a small place like Snagshall starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Report grease escaping from the fan
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.

What else we do in Snagshall
Snagshall questions
Who is the fire and rescue service for Snagshall?
Fire safety enforcement in Snagshall 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.
Which environmental health team covers Snagshall?
Kitchens in Snagshall are inspected by Rother council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
How much notice should we give?
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.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. Keep it with your maintenance log.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.

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. The work itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Snagshall.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Snagshall rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
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.

Grease, kitchens and Snagshall
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Snagshall, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Snagshall 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. It’s Rother council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Snagshall. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Historic houses near Snagshall, such as Great Dixter about 2.2 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. For schools such as Bodiam Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St James or anywhere around Snagshall, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- What state the system is in
- The size of the system
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The site address and the type of premises
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
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.
