How we handle extract fan cleaning in Findon Valley
Not all extract fans are the same: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. The way in depends on the type, and we plan that during the survey. If you have a fan left out of previous cleans and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease, we can put it right, from in-line fans, axial fans and centrifugal fans onwards.
In a smaller place like Findon Valley, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Keep access to the fan clear
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Listen to the fan. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When something else is needed
Extract fan cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- Wiring faults to the fan
- A fan that won’t start
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Findon Valley
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition we find in the survey
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
FAQs for Findon Valley
Do you work overnight in Findon Valley?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Findon Valley doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Findon Valley during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Findon Valley. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
An unbalanced impeller, usually from uneven grease, is a common cause. After cleaning, we’ll tell you if wear or damage is also involved.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Common problems we fix in Findon Valley
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. The grease that is left lands on the blades and the casing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan left out of previous cleans
A hospital like Worthing Hospital, about 2.9 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

For landlords and multi-site operators
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
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 the report can go to both.

What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. In a smaller place like Findon Valley, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
