How we handle extract fan cleaning in Goring-by-Sea
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. The way in depends on the type, and we plan that during the survey. The work covers axial fans, centrifugal fans and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are a fan shaking on its mounts and grease stains around the discharge.
In a smaller place like Goring-by-Sea, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Different parts, different methods
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so we clean what we safely can.
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. We get to them through the duct or casing after isolating them.
Why deal with it now?
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the motor runs under more strain. Light use slows the build-up but doesn’t stop it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
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.
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.
Goring-by-Sea: your questions answered
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Goring-by-Sea during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 14 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Goring-by-Sea. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Which fire service covers Goring-by-Sea?
Fire safety enforcement in Goring-by-Sea is handled by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Which sectors do you work in?
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.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. File it with your other extract records.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: every 3, 6 or 12 months. Some fans need attention sooner.
Where does the waste go?
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.
What’s 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.

Extract fan cleaning in Goring-by-Sea: the local picture
Sea air reaches Goring-by-Sea, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Look up Goring-by-Sea on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 35 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 25 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Goring-by-Sea. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. The fire and rescue service for Goring-by-Sea is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
