Different parts, different methods
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, and anything we cannot reach is recorded.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing after isolating them.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Langley Green
A clean fan isn’t a repaired fan. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we will tell you and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. If you have a fan shaking on its mounts and a fan left out of previous cleans, we can put it right, from fan housings, roof-mounted fans and in-line fans onwards.
In a smaller place like Langley Green, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Leave a clear route to the fan
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Langley Green?
A greasy fan in Langley Green is fuel at the end of the duct. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Voice of Deliverance Full Gospel Church of God or elsewhere in Langley Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits, and we clear up before we go. A site near Langley Green normally has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Langley Green and across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
What affects the quote in Langley Green
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The size of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
Why it’s worth doing now in Langley Green
For a kitchen in Langley Green, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. If the fan is coated, the duct before it typically is too so a full TR19 clean may be due. In a smaller place like Langley Green, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Extract fan cleaning around Langley Green
Food Standards Agency records list about 67 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 33 sandwich bars and takeaways across Langley Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Kitchens in Langley Green get their food hygiene inspections from Crawley 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. Langley Green is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.

Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 16 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Langley Green. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.

Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.

What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
