Extract fan cleaning in Bury, West Sussex
Extract fan cleaning for Bury and the surrounding area: diagnosis first, then a fixed quote, the work and a report with photos. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- A heavily greased fan housing
- A motor area thick with grease
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Report rattles or humming early
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Report grease escaping from the fan
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
About our extract fan cleaning in Bury
In Bury, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. The result is photographed for your records. If you have weak extraction at the canopy and a smell of hot grease from the extract, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

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. A fault that closes a site in a village like Bury affects everyone who depends on it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

Bury kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bury. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Bury. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Bury. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of St John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Bury, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Bury CofE Primary School or anywhere near Bury, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Bury.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- 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

Related advice
Different parts, different methods
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen cannot afford a fan failure. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
What we’re called out for in Bury
A greasy fan in Bury is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor does not help.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Arundel and District Hospital (about 3.8 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Bury: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Bury?
Kitchens in Bury are inspected by Chichester council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you come to Bury after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Bury needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, we do. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
The fan follows the full system’s interval, from every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours of cooking a day to every 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings and the fan’s condition can show it needs more.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Bury
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The scale of the work
- What state the system is in
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Where the site is and how we reach it
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. 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.
