Advice
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Bosham
We’ve been trading since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. The work covers centrifugal fans, in-line fans and fan housings, and people most often call us about a smell of hot grease from the extract and a fan shaking on its mounts.
In a small place like Bosham, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
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, ready for your insurer.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Bosham?
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A motor area thick with grease
- A fan that has never been cleaned
Church and community hall kitchens, near The United Reformed Church or anywhere around Bosham, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Extract fan cleaning in Bosham: the local picture
Bosham lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Food Standards Agency records include about 8 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs across Bosham and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Bosham 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.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Bosham Primary School or anywhere near Bosham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A kitchen near Bosham station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
Bosham is about 3 miles west of Chichester, in West Sussex. Bosham gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos. We cover 371 places across West Sussex, from busy centres to quieter spots. You can also see our page for Portsmouth, about 10 miles away.
Every address in PO18 is covered for extract fan cleaning, from busy streets to back roads. Whether your site is on High Street, Viking Way and Merryweather Road or anywhere close by, our technicians can take on the work. If your site is just outside Bosham, we cover Broadbridge (1 mile north-east), Chidham (1 mile west), Bosham Hoe (1 mile south), Nutbourne (2 miles north-west) and Fishbourne (2 miles east). We also work in nearby towns such as Bognor Regis (8 miles east), Chichester (3 miles east), Selsey (7 miles south-east), Littlehampton (14 miles east), Emsworth (4 miles west) and Rustington (15 miles east).
What’s near Bosham
Around Bosham, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near The Berkeley Arms Public House, among other places. Bosham’s nearest station is Bosham station, about 0.8 miles north-east. A little further out are Chichester Cathedral Treasury (3.2 miles east) and St Richard's Hospital (3.8 miles east). Not far away are Nutborne Marshes and Stoke Down.
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Report rattles or humming early
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
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 else we do in Bosham
Leave it or put it right?
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
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 work begins.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Bosham
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
How the job changes from site to site
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface, so the outlet area is checked too. We note any grease around the fan.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
