Extract fan cleaning in Bedham, done properly
We have been trading since 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. If you’re dealing with burning smells from the fan area and a fan that has never been cleaned, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Bedham, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Bedham.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Move anything stored near the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Advice
What we are called out for in Bedham
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Bedham as anywhere. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Fittleworth CofE Village School or anywhere near Bedham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface and we check the area around the outlet. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Regular cleans help it keep going.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Bedham
Kitchens in Bedham get their food hygiene inspections from Chichester council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Bedham. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Bedham (Old Place Manor is about 2.2 miles east), fitting access panels needs care. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Bedham, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Bedham is about 6 miles south-west of Billingshurst, in West Sussex. We provide extract fan cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Bedham and the rest of West Sussex. Bedham is one of 371 towns, villages and districts in West Sussex where we work for commercial clients. You can also see our page for Guildford, roughly 19 miles from Bedham.
We cover every part of RH20 for extract fan cleaning and the roads nearby. Whether your site is on Bedham Lane, Upper Street and Stretch Hill or anywhere close by, our technicians can take on the work. We also cover the places around Bedham: Fittleworth (1 mile south), Lower Horncroft (1 mile south), Coates (1 mile south-west), Pickhurst (2 miles east) and Hardham (2 miles south-east).

What’s near Bedham
Around Bedham, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near The Swan Hotel and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Pulborough station, roughly 2.1 miles south-east of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Coates Castle (1.9 miles south-west) and Coultershaw Heritage Site (2.5 miles west). Not far away are The Mens and Bignor Hill.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Leave it or put it right?
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen cannot cook safely. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen

FAQs for Bedham
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Bedham?
Kitchens in Bedham are inspected by Chichester 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.
Do you work overnight in Bedham?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Bedham does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, we do. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
