Extract fan cleaning in High Salvington, done properly
Any fan serving a kitchen in High Salvington is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. If you have weak extraction at the canopy and a noisy fan that has got louder over time, we can put it right, from fan housings, roof-mounted fans and axial fans onwards.
Around a smaller place like High Salvington, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Your opening hours decide when we come to High Salvington, not ours.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

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. When a site near High Salvington shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
When we have finished, the fan is reassembled and run. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Listen to the fan. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.
High Salvington: your questions answered
Will you come out to High Salvington?
Yes, High Salvington is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around High Salvington out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 7 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of High Salvington. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes, and that’s how we prefer to work. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, whether that’s late evening, overnight or a weekend.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum, under BESA guidance. Heavy use means at least every 3 months, light use at least every 12, fan included.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
The fan must be isolated before anyone touches it. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking is not affected.
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, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What we are called out for in High Salvington
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. The grease that’s left lands on the blades and the casing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan left out of previous cleans
School kitchens, at schools like Vale School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether a written report and photos are included
How the job changes from site to site
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.
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.
