Extract fan cleaning in Woolbridge
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You’ll know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. The work covers discharge points, fan housings and centrifugal fans, and common reasons people get in touch are grease stains around the discharge and a fan coated in grease inside its housing.
Work in a small place like Woolbridge starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Woolbridge.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- 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
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know about parking and loading

Advice
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The size of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
Extract fan cleaning in Woolbridge: the local picture
Woolbridge sits within the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. We cover Woolbridge, about 36 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St. Dunstan or elsewhere in Woolbridge, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. A hospital like Crowborough War Memorial Hospital, about 4.2 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Keep records of every fan clean
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Keep the route to the fan clear. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.

When to call us in Woolbridge
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Mayfield Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Woolbridge
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- An impeller that is bent or split
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Discharge points
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
- Axial fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Centrifugal fans
What the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Fan housings and motors
Motors and their electrics are kept dry and treated with care, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
Woolbridge: your questions answered
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Woolbridge in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Woolbridge. Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Woolbridge?
Kitchens in Woolbridge are inspected by Wealden council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
It takes an hour or two for most single fans. Your quote will give an idea.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Woolbridge?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.
