Extract fan cleaning in Hunston, done properly

A few details or a photo help when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll give you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Hunston, typically within one working day.

For a kitchen in or near Hunston, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Hunston can be planned properly.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

What else we do in Hunston
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The scale of the work
- The times the site is available
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Hunston: your questions answered
Does being near the coast affect extract fan cleaning in Hunston?
It can. Being within about 3 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Hunston than inland. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Do you cover smaller places like Hunston?
Yes, Hunston is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and if it fails outright, our 24/7 emergency line is there.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Hunston?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, we do. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Hunston kitchens: local notes
Sea air reaches Hunston, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency data counts about 36 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 9 takeaways in and around Hunston, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Hunston sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
A hospital like St Richard's Hospital, about 2.3 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Goodwood House is about 4.5 miles north), access may need planning.
Hunston is about 2 miles south of Chichester, in West Sussex.

Part by part
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so we plan how to reach and clean them. Anything out of reach is recorded.
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. We clean it along with the blades.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Leave a clear route to the fan
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Why deal with it now?
A fan clean in Hunston doesn’t take long: the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Hunston rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works 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 will explain each part.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Hunston
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Hunston as anywhere. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- A heavily greased fan housing
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A fan shaking on its mounts
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as North Mundham Primary School or anywhere near Hunston, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
