About our extract fan cleaning in East Hampnett
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. We’re often asked to deal with a fan left out of previous cleans and burning smells from the fan area, across roof-mounted fans, in-line fans and discharge points.
Work in a small place like East Hampnett starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from East Hampnett
Can a school canteen extract in East Hampnett be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of East Hampnett, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will fit the work in.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in East Hampnett?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers East Hampnett. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. File it with your other extract records.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in East Hampnett?
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A motor area thick with grease
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
Historic houses near East Hampnett, such as Goodwood House about 2.4 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. For a village or hamlet like East Hampnett, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Related advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Why act early in East Hampnett
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Why us?
- Photo reports with every job
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Member of BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- We are fully insured

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
How the job changes from site to site
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so the method is planned in advance. Anything out of reach is recorded.
Wall fans
Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in East Hampnett
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How easy every part is to reach
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Extract fan cleaning in East Hampnett: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 7 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of East Hampnett. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. East Hampnett is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Kitchens in East Hampnett get their food hygiene inspections from Chichester council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Where a hall near The Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in East Hampnett, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Chichester Centre (about 3.4 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
