How we handle extract fan cleaning in Kingston Gorse
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we will tell you, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You’ll know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. The work covers roof-mounted fans, discharge points and centrifugal fans, and people most often call us about an extract fan with no cleaning record and thick grease on the impeller and casing.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Grease, kitchens and Kingston Gorse
Kingston Gorse lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Food Standards Agency data counts about 23 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 7 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Kingston Gorse, 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. In Kingston Gorse, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Arun council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Ferring CofE Primary School or anywhere near Kingston Gorse, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Andrew's Church or anywhere around Kingston Gorse, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Zachary Merton Hospital about 1.8 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Part by part
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
Common questions in Kingston Gorse
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Kingston Gorse during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 8 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Kingston Gorse, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Does the sea air around Kingston Gorse make a difference to extract fan cleaning?
Yes, to a degree: at about 1 mile from the coast, Kingston Gorse gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at each visit.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
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 repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We can repair or replace it, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What happens if it’s left?
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will explain what it covers.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or two for most single fans. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Kingston Gorse run smoothly.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
When we’ve 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. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
