Extract fan cleaning in Felbridge, West Sussex

- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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 can diagnose it and quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Felbridge
Any fan serving a kitchen in Felbridge is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. The work covers discharge points, roof-mounted fans and in-line fans, and the jobs we see most are burning smells from the fan area and thick grease on the impeller and casing.
Work in a small place like Felbridge 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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Kitchen extracts in Felbridge
Food Standards Agency data counts about 9 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Felbridge. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Food hygiene inspections in Felbridge are the job of Tandridge council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Felbridge is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
A hospital like Queen Victoria Hospital, about 2.2 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St John's Felbridge or elsewhere in Felbridge, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. For schools such as Felbridge Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

How it 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 a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Felbridge, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- 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.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
Related advice
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
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.
Leave it or put it right?
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen can’t cook safely. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Felbridge rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The times the site is available
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
Felbridge questions
Which fire service covers Felbridge?
Felbridge is in the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you come to Felbridge 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.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before we start.
Is Felbridge in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Felbridge.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Wiring faults to the fan
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
