How we handle extract fan cleaning in Lancing
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will give you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Lancing, typically within one working day. If you have thick grease on the impeller and casing and grease stains around the discharge, we can put it right, from roof-mounted fans, fan housings and in-line fans onwards.
Around a smaller place like Lancing, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Lancing
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A heavily greased fan housing
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St. Michael & All Angels or elsewhere in Lancing, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Kitchen extracts in Lancing
Lancing is within about 1 mile of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The Food Standards Agency lists about 13 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses in and around Lancing, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Lancing is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
For schools such as The Globe Primary Academy, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hospital like Worthing Hospital, about 2 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Lancing is about 3 miles east of Worthing, in West Sussex. We provide extract fan cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Lancing and the rest of West Sussex. Lancing is one of 371 towns, villages and districts in West Sussex where we work for commercial clients. You can also see our page for Brighton, roughly 8 miles from Lancing.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Wiring faults to the fan
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
- Axial fans
- Centrifugal fans
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Check filters are seated before cooking
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
How the visit works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. In a smaller place like Lancing, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Lancing questions
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Lancing in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 5 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Lancing. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you get to a site in Lancing?
Yes, Lancing is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. The visit is timed for when the area is not in use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
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.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
We always isolate the fan first, so it cannot start while we work. With the extract off, the kitchen cannot cook, so we work out of hours.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
How we price extract fan cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The size of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
