Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Crossbush
We’ve been trading since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. Typical jobs include a fan shaking on its mounts and a fan that has never been cleaned, across axial fans, centrifugal fans and fan housings.
For a kitchen in or near Crossbush, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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 written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Part by part
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Keep records of every fan clean
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Crossbush
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Crossbush and across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What we are called out for in Crossbush
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Burning smells from the fan area
Commuter trade near Arundel station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
What your quote should include
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- What hours they’ll be on site
Honest limits
Extract fan cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It won’t put right:
- A fan that won’t start
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Crossbush
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your last certificate, test record or report
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
How it works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or two for most single fans. Visits to a village like Crossbush are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email 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. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
Advice
Crossbush kitchens: local notes
The coast is only about 3 miles from Crossbush. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 13 pubs, bars and clubs and about 9 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Crossbush. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Kitchens in Crossbush get their food hygiene inspections from Arun council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as The Littlehampton Academy or anywhere near Crossbush, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Crossbush is Arundel and District Hospital, about 1.5 miles north-west.

Common questions in Crossbush
Does coastal air change anything about extract fan cleaning in Crossbush?
It can. Being within about 3 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Crossbush than inland. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Can you come to Crossbush after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Crossbush keeps running as normal. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you cover Crossbush?
Yes. Crossbush is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We can repair or replace it, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
It has to be off and isolated before anyone touches it. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking is not affected.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
