Extract Fan Cleaning in The Pound

- A fan that no longer moves enough air
Extract fan cleaning in The Pound, done properly
Any fan serving a kitchen in The Pound 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. We are often asked to deal with grease around the motor and its mounts and an extract fan with no cleaning record, across roof-mounted fans, discharge points and centrifugal fans.
In a small place like The Pound, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to The Pound run smoothly.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.

Advice
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in The Pound
Who inspects food businesses in The Pound?
The local authority for The Pound is Rother council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Which fire authority looks after The Pound?
That is East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Why deal with it now?
For a kitchen in The Pound, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it, so it’s worth checking the whole system. With notice, the visit to The Pound can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

The Pound is about 46 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. In The Pound, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Rother council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Parish Church of St Peter or anywhere around The Pound, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in The Pound
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How big the system is
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The number of sites or systems
- Site rules, permits and inductions
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Managing agents and facilities teams in The Pound
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
Extract fan cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- A motor that has burnt out
- Wiring faults to the fan
- Damaged fan blades
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Axial fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
- Discharge points
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
When we have finished, the fan is reassembled and run. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
