West Sussex · Extract fan cleaning
Eastergate extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning for Eastergate, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Rough running from the extract fan
How it works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Eastergate before we set off.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Extract fan cleaning in Eastergate, done properly
We have been trading since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. If you’re dealing with thick grease on the impeller and casing and a fan left out of previous cleans, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Eastergate 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

When to call us in Eastergate
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan, wearing bearings and mounts. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Goodwood House is about 4.2 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the price is fixed
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Eastergate
Can you come to Eastergate after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Eastergate?
The local authority for Eastergate is Arun council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, we do. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. File it with your other extract records.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. Anything that can’t be reached is recorded, so the record is accurate.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
A clean won’t mend wear. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Eastergate and across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Eastergate
Food Standards Agency data counts about 12 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 5 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Eastergate. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. It’s Arun council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Eastergate. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Eastergate. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St George's Church or elsewhere in Eastergate, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Eastergate is Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital, about 3.4 miles south.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Keep access to the fan clear
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Make sure the fan is reachable. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.

- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
