Extract fan cleaning in Burgess Hill
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. Common call-outs are for hot, greasy smells near the fan and a noisy fan that has got louder over time, across discharge points, roof-mounted fans and axial fans.
Kitchens in towns like Burgess Hill are often in older buildings that were never designed for them, so duct runs can be awkward, with bends, long horizontal sections and too few access panels. Where the duct can’t be reached, new panels can be fitted, and anything left uncleaned is recorded on the report.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

FAQs for Burgess Hill
Can you work in Burgess Hill outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Burgess Hill can fit around your hours. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Burgess Hill?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Burgess Hill. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We can repair or replace it, and if it fails outright, our 24/7 emergency line is there.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. Anything that cannot be reached is recorded, so you always know what was cleaned.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
A single accessible fan does not take long, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. We plan it out of hours.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Burgess Hill
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 the report can go to both.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, and anything we can’t reach is recorded.
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes an hour or two for most single fans, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Work in Burgess Hill is normally booked after closing, early in the morning or on a closed day.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers

Grease, kitchens and Burgess Hill
The FSA’s data shows about 14 pubs, bars and clubs registered across Burgess Hill and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kitchens in Burgess Hill get their food hygiene inspections from Mid Sussex council. 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. Burgess Hill sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Wilfrid's Catholic Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you cook for passing trade around Burgess Hill station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Why it’s worth doing now in Burgess Hill
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. If an inspection, an insurer’s survey or a fire risk assessment is coming up in Burgess Hill, having the work done and recorded first helps.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Burgess Hill?
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. The difference throws the impeller off balance, wearing bearings and mounts. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Grease stains around the discharge
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
Church and community hall kitchens, near St John the Evangelist's Church or anywhere around Burgess Hill, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
