West Sussex · Extract fan cleaning
Hammerpot extract fan cleaning
One call covers cleaning of kitchen extract fans, impellers, fan housings and discharge points in Hammerpot: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan shaking on its mounts
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Keep the route to the fan clear. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hammerpot
Grease on a fan isn’t spread evenly. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. A thorough clean removes the cause. We are often asked to deal with less air being pulled from the kitchen and a motor area thick with grease, on in-line fans, discharge points and axial fans.
In a village or hamlet like Hammerpot, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How the visit works
Your staff do not 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 the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Hammerpot.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the system
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Advice
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Hammerpot
Sea air reaches Hammerpot, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Look up Hammerpot on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 8 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 5 sandwich bars and takeaways across Hammerpot and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Hammerpot sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
For schools such as St Margaret's CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Where a hall near The Parish Church of St Margaret, or anywhere in Hammerpot, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What else we do in Hammerpot
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- How big the system is
- Travel, parking and unloading
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition we find in the survey
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Hammerpot?
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. When filters do not seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A heavily greased fan housing
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Grease stains around the discharge
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Ecclesden Manor is about 1.1 miles south-east), access may need planning.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether they’re fully insured

Why it’s worth doing now in Hammerpot
For a kitchen in Hammerpot, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it, so it’s worth checking the whole system. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will explain what it covers.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Hammerpot
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
