About our extract fan cleaning in Broadbridge Heath
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan, and that’s what we clean. Common call-outs are for weak extraction at the canopy and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan, across fan housings, axial fans and in-line fans.
Around a smaller place like Broadbridge Heath, 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 the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What happens if it’s left?
Cleaning the fan in Broadbridge Heath now is a short job: it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Run the extract throughout cooking
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
How the job changes from site to site
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. We get to them through the duct or casing, once they’re isolated.
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. That is what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Broadbridge Heath: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Broadbridge Heath?
Fire safety enforcement in Broadbridge Heath is handled by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can a school canteen extract in Broadbridge Heath be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 6 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Broadbridge Heath, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen cannot cook while we work. That is why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. Anything that can’t be reached is recorded, so the record is accurate.

The process
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes an hour or two for most single fans. A site near Broadbridge Heath normally has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Related advice
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Broadbridge Heath?
Grease condenses as the air cools, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A fan that has never been cleaned
Where a hall near St. John's Church, or anywhere in Broadbridge Heath, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
