Extract Fan Cleaning in Ingrams Green
Specialist extract fan cleaning for Ingrams Green: diagnosis first, then a fixed quote, the work and a report with photos. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Somewhere like Ingrams Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- 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.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Extract fan cleaning in Ingrams Green, done properly
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. A thorough clean removes the cause. If you have fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and a motor area thick with grease, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Ingrams Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Common problems we fix in Ingrams Green
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. When filters don’t seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Cowdray House is about 3.1 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Questions to ask before you book
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Proof of insurance
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Report rattles or humming early
- Keep records of every fan clean
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Different parts, different methods
Impellers and blades
The blades of the impeller do the work, and it collects grease unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Ingrams Green questions
Who inspects food businesses in Ingrams Green?
That is Chichester council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Ingrams Green. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you work in villages like Ingrams Green?
Yes, Ingrams Green is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. Typically it takes an hour or two for most single fans.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, it should be. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.

What happens if it’s left?
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen cannot cook safely. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
