About our extract fan cleaning in Chithurst
A clean fan is not a repaired fan. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we will tell you and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. If you are dealing with a fan left out of previous cleans and thick grease on the impeller and casing, we can put it right, from fan housings, centrifugal fans and in-line fans onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Chithurst, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
A written report with pictures follows each 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.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Chithurst?
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. The grease that is left lands on the blades and the casing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
Church and community hall kitchens, near Chithurst Church or anywhere around Chithurst, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Why it’s worth doing now in Chithurst
A fan that sounds rough in Chithurst is often telling you the extract needs a clean. If the fan is coated, the duct before it typically is too, so it’s worth checking the whole system. With notice, the visit to Chithurst can be fitted around your bookings and events.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

What affects the quote in Chithurst
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Any permits to work or inductions
- What state the system is in
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 work begins.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
Extract fan cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Damaged fan blades
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.

Questions from Chithurst
Do you work at weekends in Chithurst?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Chithurst needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Chithurst?
Fire safety enforcement in Chithurst is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight 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 come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
One easily reached fan is quick, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
A clean won’t mend wear. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum in BESA guidance. At the extremes, that is 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.

Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Chithurst is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service.

How the job changes from site to site
Wall fans

Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: chips, distortion or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. In a small place like Chithurst, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Move anything stored near the system
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
