Udimore extract fan cleaning
Looking for extract fan cleaning in Udimore? We survey first, send you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, then sign off with a report and pictures.
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Burning smells from the fan area
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
About our extract fan cleaning in Udimore
Any fan serving a kitchen in Udimore is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. Typical jobs include vibration from an unbalanced impeller and grease escaping from the fan outlet, across centrifugal fans, fan housings and roof-mounted fans.
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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Somewhere as small as Udimore, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

What happens if it’s left?
A fan that sounds rough in Udimore is often telling you the extract needs a clean. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it so a full TR19 clean may be due. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

Udimore questions
Do you work in villages like Udimore?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Udimore is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you come to Udimore after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
We always isolate the fan first, so it cannot run during the clean. With the extract off, the kitchen can’t cook, so we work out of hours.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Wiring faults to the fan
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
- Axial fans
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Keep access to the fan clear
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.

Udimore kitchens: local notes
Udimore is covered by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Environmental health officers from Rother council inspect food businesses in Udimore. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Conquest Hospital (about 5.4 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Historic houses near Udimore, such as Lamb House about 3.4 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Where a hall near The Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Udimore, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Different parts, different methods
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, with any limits noted.
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
How we price extract fan cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- What state the system is in
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
