Extract fan cleaning in Lower Beeding, done properly
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing, and that is what we clean. The work covers fan housings, in-line fans and centrifugal fans, and people most often call us about a fan that has never been cleaned and a heavily greased fan housing.
Work in a small place like Lower Beeding starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Lower Beeding
Grease condenses as the air cools, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Lower Beeding is Horsham Hospital, about 3.8 miles north-west.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The times the site is available
- The scale of the work
- How many systems or sites are involved
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The times we could work without disrupting the site

Different parts, different methods
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and grease builds up on them unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
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.
Why deal with it now?
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller does not stay small. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown and a kitchen can’t cook safely without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Lower Beeding rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Lower Beeding
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.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. In a small place like Lower Beeding, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. 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.

Lower Beeding questions
Who inspects food businesses in Lower Beeding?

How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How long is a fan clean?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. Typically it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. Keep it with your maintenance log.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
