Extract fan cleaning in Coldwaltham, done properly
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. The way in depends on the type, and we plan that during the survey. The work covers centrifugal fans, fan housings and roof-mounted fans, and people most often call us about fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and a noisy fan that has got louder over time.
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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Coldwaltham run smoothly.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Coldwaltham: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Coldwaltham?
Kitchens in Coldwaltham are inspected by Horsham council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.

How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Coldwaltham?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.

What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
How the job changes from site to site
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so the method is planned in advance. Anything out of reach is recorded.

Coldwaltham sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
School kitchens, at schools like St James' CofE Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Giles or anywhere around Coldwaltham, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A motor that has burnt out
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Centrifugal fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- In-line fans
- Axial fans
- Fan housings
- Discharge points
Why deal with it now?
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller doesn’t stay small. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure and a kitchen cannot cook safely without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. A fault that closes a site in a village like Coldwaltham affects everyone who depends on it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

What we are called out for in Coldwaltham
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Coldwaltham is Arundel and District Hospital, about 5.9 miles south.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
Multi-site and managed buildings
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.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
What affects the quote in Coldwaltham
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- What state the system is in
- The scale of the work
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The postcode and the type of business
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
