Extract fan cleaning in Bepton Common
A clean fan isn’t a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. If you have an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and an extract fan with no cleaning record, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Kitchen extracts in Bepton Common
The Food Standards Agency lists about 9 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Bepton Common. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Bepton Common sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Bepton Common get their food hygiene inspections from Chichester council. 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.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Cowdray House is about 1.3 miles north-east), access may need planning. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Midhurst Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Bepton Common, about 1.4 miles north-east.

What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing after isolating them.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Wiring faults to the fan
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- In-line fans
- Discharge points
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
- Centrifugal fans
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
You get before and after photos of the impeller and housing. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Common problems we fix in Bepton Common
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Roman Catholic Church of Divine Motherhood, or anywhere in Bepton Common, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How easy every part is to reach
- Parking and loading at the site
- The size of the system
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Bepton Common can be planned properly.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

FAQs for Bepton Common
Which fire authority looks after Bepton Common?
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Bepton Common. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you work in Bepton Common outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Bepton Common needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
