Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Aldingbourne
Not all extract fans are the same: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. The way in depends on the type, and we plan that during the survey. The work covers axial fans, fan housings and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles.
Work in a small place like Aldingbourne starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

When to call us in Aldingbourne
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
Where a hall near The Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Aldingbourne, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What happens if it’s left?
A fan that sounds rough in Aldingbourne is often telling you the extract needs a clean. If the fan is coated, the duct before it normally is too, so it’s worth checking the whole system. With notice, the visit to Aldingbourne can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- 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.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
Aldingbourne questions
Do you work overnight in Aldingbourne?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Aldingbourne doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you cover smaller places like Aldingbourne?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Aldingbourne
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.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Aldingbourne.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
For extract fan cleaning in Aldingbourne, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
Advice
What affects the quote in Aldingbourne
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.
Grease, kitchens and Aldingbourne
There are about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Aldingbourne, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Fire safety in Aldingbourne falls to West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Aldingbourne are the job of Arun council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
