Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in East Worthing
The extract fan is the heart of the system: 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 we clean it off. Typical jobs include a fan that no longer moves enough air and a smell of hot grease from the extract, on fan housings, centrifugal fans and in-line fans.
Kitchens around a place like East Worthing are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What else we do in East Worthing
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. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to East Worthing at a time that suits you.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Why book with us
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- In business since 2009
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- Fully insured

How the visit works
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. In a smaller place like East Worthing, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Related advice
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Check filters are seated before cooking
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
Part by part
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.
Impellers and blades
Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
East Worthing questions
Is extract fan cleaning any different in a coastal place like East Worthing?
Yes, to a degree: at about 1 mile from the coast, East Worthing gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in East Worthing?
In East Worthing, it’s Worthing council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What 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 send details by email with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Do you work in East Worthing?
Yes. We work in East Worthing and across West Sussex, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, we can clean just the fan. That helps when the fan needs attention before the next full clean, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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 give you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
East Worthing kitchens: local notes
The coast is only about 1 mile from East Worthing. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Look up East Worthing on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 170 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 57 takeaways in and around East Worthing, up to about a mile and a half out. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Kitchens in East Worthing get their food hygiene inspections from Worthing council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Worthing Hospital about 0.7 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run a café or takeaway near East Worthing station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

Common problems we fix in East Worthing
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. The difference throws the impeller off balance, wearing bearings and mounts. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan that has never been cleaned
School kitchens, at schools like Lyndhurst Infant School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
