Extract fan cleaning in Broadbridge
A clean fan is not a repaired fan. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we’ll tell you, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You’ll know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. Common call-outs are for vibration from an unbalanced impeller and a fan left out of previous cleans, on fan housings, axial fans and in-line fans.
Work in a small place like Broadbridge starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Broadbridge: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Broadbridge?
In Broadbridge, it’s Chichester council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Broadbridge?
Fire safety enforcement in Broadbridge is handled by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. Keep it with your maintenance log.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, where it makes sense. We will often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan typically means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we will book around them.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Report rattles or humming early
- Never cook with a filter missing
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
Extract fan cleaning in Broadbridge: the local picture
Sea air reaches Broadbridge, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Food Standards Agency records list about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Broadbridge. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Food hygiene inspections in Broadbridge are the job of Chichester council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The United Reformed Church, or anywhere in Broadbridge, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Chichester Centre is the nearest hospital to Broadbridge, about 3.3 miles east. For schools such as Bosham Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What’s near Broadbridge

Different parts, different methods
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing, once they’re isolated.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.

What affects the quote in Broadbridge
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How big the system is
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Why deal with it now?
Cleaning the fan in Broadbridge now is a short job: the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Waiting adds vibration, wear and a harder clean. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Broadbridge is calmer for everyone.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Why book with us
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Every job surveyed first
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Somewhere as small as Broadbridge, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
