In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Bognor Regis
In Bognor Regis, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. We’re often asked to deal with a fan shaking on its mounts and a heavily greased fan housing, across centrifugal fans, in-line fans and roof-mounted fans.
In Bognor Regis, extract cleaning fits around service: after the last cover, before breakfast or on a day the kitchen is shut. Bigger sites can be done kitchen by kitchen, so cooking carries on elsewhere.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What the work involves, part by part
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. We get to them through the duct or casing after isolating them.
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
Questions from Bognor Regis
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Bognor Regis?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Bognor Regis. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Does coastal air change anything about extract fan cleaning in Bognor Regis?
It can, as Bognor Regis is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it can’t start while we work. With the extract off, the kitchen cannot cook, so we work out of hours.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two for most single fans. Whoever holds the keys and signs off contractors at your site in Bognor Regis is the person we need to speak to before the day.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Bognor Regis kitchens: local notes
Sea air reaches Bognor Regis, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency records include about 40 pubs and bars and about 10 hotels and guest houses in and around Bognor Regis, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. It’s Arun council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Bognor Regis. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital about 0.5 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary Magdalene, or anywhere in Bognor Regis, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. A kitchen near Bognor Regis station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
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.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
What a clean will not put right
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A motor that has burnt out
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

What else we do in Bognor Regis
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
