What extract fan cleaning looks like in Climping
Climping lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The FSA’s data shows about 13 pubs, bars and clubs and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered across Climping 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. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Climping. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
For schools such as St Mary's CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Climping, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. A hospital like Arundel and District Hospital, about 3 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

About our extract fan cleaning in Climping
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look so you get a clean bill of health. If you are dealing with a fan that hums, whines or rumbles and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan, we can put it right, from in-line fans, centrifugal fans and fan housings onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

FAQs for Climping
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Climping?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Climping. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work in villages like Climping?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Climping included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
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.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
What information do you need?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Leave it or put it right?
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- In-line fans
- Axial fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Climping.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What affects the quote in Climping
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The size of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Keep the route to the fan clear. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
