About our extract fan cleaning in Streat
Any fan serving a kitchen in Streat is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. If you are dealing with a noisy fan that has got louder over time and a motor area thick with grease, we can put it right, from discharge points, axial fans and in-line fans onwards.
Work in a small place like Streat starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Extract fan cleaning around Streat
Look up Streat on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Streat. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Streat sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Food hygiene inspections in Streat are the job of Lewes council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hospital like Lewes Victoria Hospital, about 4.5 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Church and community hall kitchens, near Streat Church or anywhere around Streat, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. School kitchens, at schools like Plumpton Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What else we do in Streat
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
FAQs for Streat
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Streat?
Food hygiene inspections in Streat are carried out by Lewes council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Streat out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Streat, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
The fan follows the full system’s interval at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Grease readings and the fan’s condition can show it needs more.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
A common cause is grease. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning doesn’t, the bearings or motor may need attention.
How the job changes from site to site
Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so the method is planned in advance. Anything out of reach is recorded.
Why act early in Streat
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Streat rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Streat
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- What state the system is in
- How easy every part is to reach
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Streat
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.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on in Streat
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
- Fan housings
- Centrifugal fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- In-line fans
How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Somewhere as small as Streat, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
