East Lavington extract fan cleaning
Specialist extract fan cleaning for East Lavington: diagnosis first, then a fixed quote, the work and a report with photos. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Report rattles or humming early
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
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.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
About our extract fan cleaning in East Lavington
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A heart under strain works harder for less. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found so you get a clean bill of health. Typical jobs include a heavily greased fan housing and weak extraction at the canopy, on centrifugal fans, in-line fans and fan housings.
Work in a small place like East Lavington 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 every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What else we do in East Lavington
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Why deal with it now?
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to East Lavington is calmer for everyone.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

East Lavington kitchens: local notes
Look up East Lavington on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central East Lavington. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Food hygiene inspections in East Lavington are the job of Chichester council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in East Lavington falls to West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Graffham CofE Infant School or anywhere near East Lavington, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Peter, or anywhere in East Lavington, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around East Lavington (Bignor Roman Villa is about 2.9 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.

East Lavington questions
Can you come to East Lavington after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in East Lavington?
That is Chichester council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in East Lavington. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do you cover East Lavington?
Yes. We cover East Lavington and the rest of West Sussex, within our South East and London area. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, if the fan needs it. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
How the job changes from site to site
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. We get to them through the duct or casing, once they’re isolated.
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Somewhere like East Lavington, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
