About our extract fan cleaning in Fulking
In Fulking, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. The result is photographed for your records. We are often asked to deal with thick grease on the impeller and casing and a fan that has never been cleaned, across in-line fans, axial fans and fan housings.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Fulking: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Fulking?
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Fulking. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can the work in Fulking be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen cannot cook while we work. That is why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and blades
The blades of the impeller do the work, and it collects grease unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them and we check the area around the outlet. We note any grease around the fan.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
- Discharge points
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Fulking.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Fulking
A fan clean in Fulking does not take long: it takes an hour or two for most single fans. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Fulking rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Extract fan cleaning around Fulking
The Food Standards Agency lists about 6 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Fulking. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Food hygiene inspections in Fulking are the job of Mid Sussex council’s environmental health team. 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. Fulking is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Where a hall near The Church of the Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Fulking, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Portslade Manor is about 3.3 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Southlands Hospital (about 3.7 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
