Extract fan cleaning in Chelwood Gate
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and you’ll get a fixed price, normally within one working day. Common call-outs are for a smell of hot grease from the extract and a fan shaking on its mounts, across fan housings, roof-mounted fans and centrifugal fans.
Work in a small place like Chelwood Gate starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Chelwood Gate kitchens: local notes
Chelwood Gate 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. We cover Chelwood Gate, about 31 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Chelwood Gate is Crowborough War Memorial Hospital, about 5.9 miles east. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Chelwood Gate (Priest House is about 3.8 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Chelwood Gate before we set off.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What we are called out for in Chelwood Gate
A greasy fan in Chelwood Gate is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
Where a hall near Chelwood Gate Church, or anywhere in Chelwood Gate, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What hours they’ll be on site
What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: chips, distortion or wear. We note any concerns.
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Questions from Chelwood Gate
Can you get to a site in Chelwood Gate?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Chelwood Gate?
Chelwood Gate is in the area of 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.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, it should be. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we will plan the visit around them.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Normally not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
A single accessible fan doesn’t take long, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. We plan it out of hours.

Why it’s worth doing now in Chelwood Gate
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
