Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in East Harting
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan, and that is what we clean. Typical jobs include a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and a fan shaking on its mounts, on fan housings, axial fans and in-line fans.
In a small place like East Harting, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

How we price extract fan cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
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.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The postcode and the type of business
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A motor that has burnt out
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Discharge points
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
What the work involves, part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, so grease and wear build up together. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.

What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or two for most single fans. Somewhere like East Harting, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear the space around the work
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Grease stains around the discharge
