Extract fan cleaning in Trolliloes, East Sussex
Cleaning of kitchen extract fans, impellers, fan housings and discharge points for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Trolliloes. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Somewhere like Trolliloes, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

About our extract fan cleaning in Trolliloes
We’ve been trading since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. Typical jobs include a fan that hums, whines or rumbles and thick grease on the impeller and casing, across roof-mounted fans, discharge points and fan housings.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
Trolliloes: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Trolliloes?
That’s East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. 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 at weekends in Trolliloes?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Trolliloes keeps running as normal. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. Keep it with your maintenance log.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What the work involves, part by part
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so we plan how to reach and clean them. Anything out of reach is recorded.
Why act early in Trolliloes
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. It’s simpler to plan the work at Trolliloes now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A fan that won’t start
- Damaged fan blades
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Centrifugal fans

- In-line fans
- Fan housings
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
Common problems we fix in Trolliloes
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan and puts strain on the bearings. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Horselunges Manor is about 3.7 miles south-west), access may need planning.
