Extract fan cleaning in Goose Green
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract fans since 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers in-line fans, roof-mounted fans and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are hot, greasy smells near the fan and a motor area thick with grease.
For a kitchen in or near Goose Green, 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.

How we price extract fan cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition of the system
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’ll explain each part.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The site address and the type of premises
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Common questions in Goose Green
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Goose Green?
The local authority for Goose Green is Horsham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which fire authority looks after Goose Green?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Goose Green. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan housings
- Discharge points
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes an hour or two for most single fans. For a village or hamlet like Goose Green, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Regular cleans help it keep going.
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface, so the outlet area is checked too. We note any grease around the fan.
Extract fan cleaning in Goose Green: the local picture
It’s Horsham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Goose Green. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Goose Green is 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Mary or anywhere around Goose Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Goose Green (Parham House is about 4.5 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Rydon Community College tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Landmarks near Goose Green

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Why it’s worth doing now in Goose Green
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger and the motor works harder. A fault that closes a site in a village like Goose Green affects everyone who depends on it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
