Extract fan cleaning in Swaile's Green
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. If you are dealing with fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and a fan shaking on its mounts, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Swaile's Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
When to call us in Swaile's Green
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. When filters don’t seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
A hospital like Conquest Hospital, about 5.4 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Swaile's Green questions
Is Swaile's Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Swaile's Green is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Swaile's Green?
Swaile's Green is in the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
Cleaning removes grease, but it cannot fix worn parts. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Keep records of every fan clean
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Kitchen extracts in Swaile's Green
The fire and rescue service for Swaile's Green is East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Swaile's Green are the job of Rother council’s environmental health team. 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.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Durhamford Manor is about 1.2 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Where a hall near St Marks Staplecross, or anywhere in Swaile's Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Why act early in Swaile's Green
For a kitchen in Swaile's Green, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. If the fan is coated, the duct before it normally is too so a full TR19 clean may be due. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Swaile's Green rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Different parts, different methods
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, so grease and wear build up together. Regular cleans help it keep going.
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up, and we clear up before we go. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Swaile's Green can be planned properly.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- 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
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
