Extract Fan Cleaning in Telscombe Cliffs
Our technicians work in Telscombe Cliffs on cleaning of kitchen extract fans, impellers, fan housings and discharge points. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
You get before and after pictures of the impeller and housing. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
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.
About our extract fan cleaning in Telscombe Cliffs
Not all extract fans are the same: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. If you’re dealing with a heavily greased fan housing and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan, we can help, from in-line fans, roof-mounted fans and centrifugal fans onwards.
Kitchens around a place like Telscombe Cliffs are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Telscombe Cliffs questions
Who inspects food businesses in Telscombe Cliffs?
That is Lewes council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Telscombe Cliffs. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can sea air affect extract fan cleaning in Telscombe Cliffs?
It can. Salt air reaches Telscombe Cliffs, which is within about 1 mile of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at every visit.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you cover Telscombe Cliffs?
Yes. Telscombe Cliffs is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Cleaning removes grease, but it cannot fix worn parts. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Telscombe Cliffs kitchens: local notes
Telscombe Cliffs is within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Food Standards Agency records list about 20 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 13 takeaways in and around Telscombe Cliffs, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Telscombe Cliffs is covered by 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.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Telscombe Cliffs Community Primary School or anywhere near Telscombe Cliffs, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Historic houses near Telscombe Cliffs, such as Monk's House about 3 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital is the nearest hospital to Telscombe Cliffs, about 3.7 miles east.

The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Everything the job in Telscombe Cliffs needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- 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.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

What else we do in Telscombe Cliffs
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across East Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- A motor that has burnt out
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- In-line fans
- Discharge points
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans
What happens if it’s left?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the motor runs under more strain. When a site near Telscombe Cliffs shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Different parts, different methods
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. We clean it along with the blades.
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. We clean them where they can be safely reached, with any limits noted.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Telscombe Cliffs
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Site rules, permits and inductions

What to send for a quote

- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
