Extract fan cleaning in Tile Hurst, East Sussex
Extract fan cleaning in Tile Hurst from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Burning smells from the fan area
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Tile Hurst
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. A thorough clean removes the cause. If you have an extract fan with no cleaning record and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Tile Hurst
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Tile Hurst?
East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Tile Hurst. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you work in villages like Tile Hurst?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
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 as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
How long is a fan clean?
It takes an hour or two for most single fans. We will confirm the time when we quote.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
The process
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Somewhere as small as Tile Hurst, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Part by part
Impellers and blades
Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
