Extract fan cleaning in Three Leg Cross
We’ve been trading since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. Common call-outs are for vibration from an unbalanced impeller and grease around the motor and its mounts, on discharge points, in-line fans and roof-mounted fans.
For a kitchen in or near Three Leg Cross, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Extract fan cleaning in Three Leg Cross: the local picture
Look up Three Leg Cross on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Three Leg Cross. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Kitchens in Three Leg Cross get their food hygiene inspections from Rother council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Three Leg Cross. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Scotney Castle is about 2.6 miles north), access may need planning. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Ticehurst and Flimwell Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Three Leg Cross, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Common problems we fix in Three Leg Cross
A greasy fan in Three Leg Cross is fuel at the end of the duct. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire, and a hot, struggling motor does not help.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Three Leg Cross is Ticehurst House Hospital, about 0.5 miles south-west.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether VAT is included
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
You get before and after photos of the impeller and housing. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Listen to the fan. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
How we price extract fan cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- What state the system is in
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:

- A dirty duct upstream of the fan

Leave it or put it right?
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen cannot cook safely. Many fan problems start with grease, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. It’s simpler to plan the work at Three Leg Cross now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will talk you through it.

How it works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and we clear up before we go. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Three Leg Cross before we set off.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t 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.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Advice
Questions from Three Leg Cross
Which council inspects kitchens in Three Leg Cross?
That’s Rother council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Three Leg Cross. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you work overnight in Three Leg Cross?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Three Leg Cross can fit around your hours. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. File it with your other extract records.
