Kitchen extracts in Fisher
Sea air reaches Fisher, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Fisher. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Fisher sits within the area of 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Leodegar's Church or anywhere around Fisher, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Chichester High School For Girls, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Richard's Hospital (about 3.2 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

About our extract fan cleaning in Fisher
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a fan can also need attention on its own, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. The work covers fan housings, centrifugal fans and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are grease around the motor and its mounts and burning smells from the fan area.
For a kitchen in or near Fisher, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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 sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- An impeller that is bent or split
- A fan that won’t start
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on in Fisher

Why it’s worth doing now in Fisher
For a kitchen in Fisher, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. If the fan is coated, the duct before it usually is too, so it’s worth checking the whole system. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What you get with us
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
- We’re fully insured
- We diagnose before we treat
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Report rattles or humming early
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
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.
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 the report can go to both.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Part by part
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: chips, distortion or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Questions from Fisher
Does the sea air around Fisher make a difference to extract fan cleaning?
It can. Salt air reaches Fisher, which is within about 2 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Do you work in villages like Fisher?
Yes, Fisher is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Fisher?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
An unbalanced impeller, normally from uneven grease, is a common cause. After cleaning, we will tell you if wear or damage is also involved.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Fisher and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
