What extract fan cleaning looks like in Cocking Causeway
The Food Standards Agency lists about 8 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Cocking Causeway. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Cocking Causeway. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from Chichester council inspect food businesses in Cocking Causeway. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Cowdray House is about 1.2 miles north), access may need planning. For schools such as Midhurst CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Cocking Causeway is about 9 miles east of Petersfield, in West Sussex. Cocking Causeway gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with photos. Our West Sussex coverage runs to 371 places, and Cocking Causeway is one of them. You can also see our page for Portsmouth, roughly 19 miles from Cocking Causeway.

Extract fan cleaning in Cocking Causeway
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a fan can also need attention on its own, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. Common call-outs are for thick grease on the impeller and casing and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan, across fan housings, in-line fans and discharge points.
Work in a small place like Cocking Causeway starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them and we check the area around the outlet. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something 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.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Cocking Causeway questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Cocking Causeway?
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Cocking Causeway. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you get to a site in Cocking Causeway?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
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 we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Uneven grease on the impeller often causes it. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Never cook with a filter missing
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
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.

The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Cocking Causeway can be planned properly.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Advice
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Cocking Causeway?
Grease condenses as the air cools, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. So grease often settles heavily there.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A motor area thick with grease
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A fan that has never been cleaned
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene or elsewhere in Cocking Causeway, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
