Extract fan cleaning in Coneyhurst
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. If you are dealing with hot, greasy smells near the fan and a motor area thick with grease, we can help.
Work in a small place like Coneyhurst 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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Visits to a village like Coneyhurst are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.

Advice
Extract fan cleaning around Coneyhurst
Food Standards Agency records list about 11 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Coneyhurst. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Fire safety in Coneyhurst falls to 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. It’s Horsham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Coneyhurst. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Old Place Manor is about 4.8 miles south-west), access may need planning.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, 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 plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Why act early in Coneyhurst
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the motor runs under more strain. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Common questions in Coneyhurst
Can you get to a site in Coneyhurst?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Coneyhurst is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Coneyhurst?
That is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll normally reply within one working day.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, we can clean just the fan. That helps when the fan needs attention before the next full clean, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Typically not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
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 we are called out for in Coneyhurst
How fast a fan gets greasy in Coneyhurst depends on the cooking: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Weak extraction at the canopy
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as The Weald School or anywhere near Coneyhurst, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

When it’s something else
Extract fan cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- A motor that has burnt out
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
