About extract fan cleaning in West Sussex

A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. Typical jobs include rough running from the extract fan and burning smells from the fan area, on fan housings, roof-mounted fans and centrifugal fans.

Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up.

  1. Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
  2. Once isolated, we open the fan up.
  3. Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
  4. We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
  5. We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.

Around Crawley

In Crawley, that means kitchens and buildings near Friary Church of St Francis and St Anthony, St Wilfrid's Catholic School and Tilgate Park and the streets around them. You’ll also find The George Hotel (under half a mile north), Three Bridges Junior School (less than half a mile south-east) and St Francis of Assisi Catholic Primary School (within half a mile south-east). Crawley has its own railway station: Crawley station. Nearby you will also find Crawley Hospital (0.5 miles north-west) and County Mall (under half a mile north-east). Green spaces nearby include Tilgate Lake.

Extract fan cleaning around West Sussex

In West Sussex, a busy kitchen in a place such as Crawley, Horsham and Worthing and a quiet village kitchen need very different cleaning intervals. Grease readings and BESA’s minimum intervals set the schedule for each.

Much of our work across London and the South East happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so sites in West Sussex can keep trading. Near the coast in West Sussex, salt and damp speed up corrosion in fans, ducts and dampers, which is worth knowing when systems are inspected.

Crawley: Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Crawley Hospital is the nearest hospital to Crawley, about 0.5 miles north-west. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Three Bridges Junior School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:

  • Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
  • Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
  • Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
  • Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point

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.

Make sure the fan is reachable. 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.

Honest limits

We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:

  • A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
  • A fan that won’t start
  • Grease in the canopy and ductwork

Part by part

Fan housings and motors

Some fans use a belt drive. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.

Wall fans

Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.

What happens if it’s left?

Without a working extract fan, a kitchen can’t cook safely. Many fan problems start with grease, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens.

Questions to ask before you book

  • When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
  • Whether a written report and photos are included
  • When the next visit should be, and why
  • What insurance they carry

Managing agents and facilities teams in West Sussex

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in West Sussex

What accreditations do you have?

Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.

Can the work be done while we’re closed?

Yes, and that is how we prefer to work. The visit is timed for when the area isn’t in use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.

Do you look at the system first?

Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.

Can you fix a fan that is worn out?

A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.

What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?

A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. Keep it with your maintenance log.

Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?

Yes, we do. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.

Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?

Yes, it should be. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
