Extract Fan Cleaning in Adversane
Extract fan cleaning in Adversane, surveyed first and signed off with a written report and pictures. Call for a fixed quote.
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
Different parts, different methods
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them, so the outlet area is checked too. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and grease builds up on them unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Adversane
Grease on a fan isn’t spread evenly. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. The work covers fan housings, roof-mounted fans and in-line fans, and people most often call us about a fan coated in grease inside its housing and hot, greasy smells near the fan.
In a village or hamlet like Adversane, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. The timing of a visit to Adversane is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Adversane kitchens: local notes
It’s Horsham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Adversane. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. About 38 miles out from central London, Adversane is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
School kitchens, at schools like The Weald School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Questions from Adversane
Who inspects food businesses in Adversane?
In Adversane, it’s Horsham council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Adversane?
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Adversane. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
A clean won’t mend wear. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
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.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Report rattles or humming early
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What we are called out for in Adversane
Grease condenses as the air cools, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. So grease often settles heavily there.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Rough running from the extract fan
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Old Place Manor is about 3.2 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
