Extract Fan Cleaning in Lagness
Extract fan cleaning for Lagness, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- A motor area thick with grease
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
What we’re called out for in Lagness
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
Goodwood House, about 4.9 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Lagness; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Extract fan cleaning in Lagness
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. Common call-outs are for vibration from an unbalanced impeller and less air being pulled from the kitchen, across fan housings, discharge points and centrifugal fans.
Somewhere as small as Lagness, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Extract fan cleaning in Lagness: the local picture
The coast is only about 2 miles from Lagness. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Lagness. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Lagness. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Giles or elsewhere in Lagness, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Rose Green Junior School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Lagness is about 2 miles west of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. We provide extract fan cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Lagness and the rest of West Sussex. 371 places in West Sussex are on our list, large and small. We also work in Portsmouth, around 15 miles away.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
How we price extract fan cleaning
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
For extract fan cleaning in Lagness, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Lagness
Does being near the coast affect extract fan cleaning in Lagness?
It can. Salt air reaches Lagness, which is within about 2 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Lagness out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Lagness, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will fit the work in.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
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.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. Typically it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. Keep it with your maintenance log.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on in Lagness
- Axial fans
- Fan housings
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
Leave it or put it right?
A fan clean in Lagness doesn’t take long: it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
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. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What you get with us
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- We are fully insured
- A written report with pictures after every visit
- Every job surveyed first
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. The timing of a visit to Lagness is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Lagness and across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
