Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bewbush
A clean fan is not a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You’ll know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. The work covers axial fans, fan housings and roof-mounted fans, and common reasons people get in touch are hot, greasy smells near the fan and a fan that has never been cleaned.
Around a smaller place like Bewbush, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Different parts, different methods
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. We clean them where they can be safely reached, with any limits noted.
Fan housings and motors
Motors and their electrics are kept dry and treated with care, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Centrifugal fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
- In-line fans
- Axial fans
- Fan housings
Why act early in Bewbush
A fan that sounds rough in Bewbush is often telling you the extract needs a clean. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it, so it’s worth checking the whole system. Even a site near Bewbush that’s only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Keep records of every fan clean
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
Extract fan cleaning around Bewbush
Food Standards Agency records include about 12 pubs, bars and clubs and about 4 hotels and guest houses in Bewbush and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Bewbush is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Bewbush are the job of Crawley council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as The Bewbush Academy or anywhere near Bewbush, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. For kitchens close to Ifield station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Crawley Hospital about 1.3 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. A site near Bewbush usually has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Find the previous report, if there is one

What affects the quote in Bewbush
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- The size of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- A single visit or a regular plan
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
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 work begins.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Bewbush
Who inspects food businesses in Bewbush?

Do you cover smaller places like Bewbush?
Yes. Bewbush is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: every 3, 6 or 12 months. A noisy or heavily coated fan may need it sooner.

Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.

It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
