Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Stunts Green
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Stunts Green?
Kitchens in Stunts Green are inspected by Wealden council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Stunts Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Stunts Green is handled by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
We also repair and replace extract fans. If we find wear or damage, we will explain it and send you a fixed quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stunts Green
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a fan can also need attention on its own, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. The work covers fan housings, roof-mounted fans and in-line fans, and people most often call us about a fan that has never been cleaned and grease escaping from the fan outlet.
In a small place like Stunts Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Stunts Green
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How easy every part is to reach
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
How the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen cannot afford a fan failure. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Common problems we fix in Stunts Green
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Stunts Green as anywhere. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A motor area thick with grease
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
Historic houses near Stunts Green, such as Horselunges Manor about 2.9 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Leave it or put it right?
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. In a small place like Stunts Green, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A motor that has burnt out
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Stunts Green can be planned properly.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
