Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Earnley
Any fan serving a kitchen in Earnley is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. If you have a smell of hot grease from the extract and a noisy fan that has got louder over time, we can put it right, from discharge points, fan housings and centrifugal fans onwards.
Work in a small place like Earnley 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What happens if it’s left?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger, while the motor runs under more strain. In a small place like Earnley, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Discharge points
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Report rattles or humming early
- Book the fan into every full TR19 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. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Earnley
A fan in Earnley builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
Church and community hall kitchens, near Earnley Church or anywhere around Earnley, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Somewhere like Earnley, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely 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.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear loose items from the work area

The coast is only about 2 miles from Earnley. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. There are about 16 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 8 takeaways in and around Earnley, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Earnley sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
