Extract fan cleaning in Brooks Green, West Sussex

- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
Different parts, different methods
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so we clean what we safely can.
Extract fan cleaning in Brooks Green, done properly
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. The way in depends on the type, and we plan that during the survey. Common call-outs are for less air being pulled from the kitchen and a fan left out of previous cleans, across in-line fans, axial fans and fan housings.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What else we do in Brooks Green
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Report grease escaping from the fan
When we’ve finished, the fan is reassembled and run. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Listen to the fan. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Brooks Green
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- What state the system is in
- The size of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site

Brooks Green: your questions answered
Can you work in Brooks Green outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Brooks Green?
That is 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 you fix a fan that is worn out?
Fan repair and replacement is part of what we do. If cleaning shows a worn motor, bearings or impeller, we’ll tell you and quote for the repair.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Brooks Green?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Usually not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Common problems we fix in Brooks Green
How fast a fan gets greasy in Brooks Green depends on the cooking: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Weak extraction at the canopy
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Barns Green Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- What hours they’ll be on site
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether VAT is included
The process
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Brooks Green.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
