Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Barnham: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Barnham?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Barnham. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can school kitchens in Barnham be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 9 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Barnham, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Every clean has a photo report, with anything we noticed. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, we do. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Is Barnham in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Barnham, as part of our area across London and the South East.
How long is a fan clean?
One easily reached fan is quick, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
How we price extract fan cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- What state the system is in
- How big the system is
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
Want a quote for extract fan cleaning? Please call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with a few details about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. Somewhere as small as Barnham, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
You get before and after photos of the impeller and housing. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Barnham
At about 3 miles from the coast, Barnham is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s data shows about 3 pubs, bars and clubs registered in Barnham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Food hygiene inspections in Barnham are the job of Arun council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run a café or takeaway near Barnham station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Barnham, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Barnham Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Around Barnham

Why act early in Barnham
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.

Different parts, different methods
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: chips, distortion or wear. We note any concerns.
