How we handle extract fan cleaning in Goddards Green
In Goddards Green, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. If you have an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and a motor area thick with grease, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Goddards Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Kitchen extracts in Goddards Green
There are about 10 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Goddards Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. It’s Mid Sussex council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Goddards Green. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Goddards Green sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Paul's Catholic College, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Goddards Green is The Dene Hospital, about less than half a mile east.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Goddards Green?
How fast a fan gets greasy in Goddards Green depends on the cooking: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
Historic houses near Goddards Green, such as Ockenden Manor about 3 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
What we do, step by step
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Visits to a village like Goddards Green are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it can’t 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
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Why it’s worth doing now in Goddards Green
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
