Extract fan cleaning in Forestside
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You’ll know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. If you’re dealing with a noisy fan that has got louder over time and less air being pulled from the kitchen, we can help, from discharge points, in-line fans and roof-mounted fans onwards.
Work in a small place like Forestside starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Why it’s worth doing now in Forestside
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 Forestside rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

The process
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. On site, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Somewhere as small as Forestside, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Advice
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
When we’ve finished, the fan is reassembled and run. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
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.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
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.
Kitchen extracts in Forestside
In Forestside, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Chichester council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. About 54 miles out from central London, Forestside is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Forestside (Uppark is about 3.2 miles north), fitting access panels needs care. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Havant War Memorial Hospital about 5 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Christ Church or elsewhere in Forestside, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Forestside
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids

What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Forestside
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Forestside?
That’s Chichester council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Forestside. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Which fire service covers Forestside?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Forestside. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Normally not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
We also repair and replace extract fans. If cleaning shows a worn motor, bearings or impeller, we will tell you and quote for the repair.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Grease on the blades and housing is one of the usual causes, because it unbalances the fan. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
Different parts, different methods
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
