Extract fan cleaning in Henfield, done properly
Any fan serving a kitchen in Henfield is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. The result is photographed for your records. The work covers axial fans, roof-mounted fans and centrifugal fans, and the jobs we see most are vibration from an unbalanced impeller and a smell of hot grease from the extract.
For a smaller kitchen near Henfield, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the job changes from site to site
Fan housings and motors
Motors and their electrics are kept dry and treated with care, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so we clean what we safely can.
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Everything the job in Henfield needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- 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.
- 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
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Common problems we fix in Henfield
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. The difference throws the impeller off balance and puts strain on the bearings. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Peter's Church or elsewhere in Henfield, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What to look for in a quote

What else we do in Henfield
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Henfield
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Parking and loading at the site
- A single visit or a regular plan
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A fan that will not start
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- Wiring faults to the fan
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Roof-mounted fans
- In-line fans
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
If the fan needs more than a clean, we will say so plainly. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Make sure the fan is reachable. 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.
Common questions in Henfield
Which fire service covers Henfield?
Fire safety enforcement in Henfield 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.
Do you work overnight in Henfield?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Henfield needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, we can clean just the fan. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
You get a photo report with before and after photos of the fan. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
Do you cover Henfield?
Yes. We work in Henfield and across West Sussex, within our South East and London area. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
It depends on how many hours the kitchen cooks in BESA guidance. At the extremes, that’s 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
