Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Lumley
Any fan serving a kitchen in Lumley is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. Common call-outs are for a heavily greased fan housing and a motor area thick with grease, across discharge points, in-line fans and centrifugal fans.
In a village or hamlet like Lumley, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Honest limits
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before booking.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Lumley
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The scale of the work
- What state the system is in
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
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 so you know the cost before we start.
What happens if it’s left?
For a kitchen in Lumley, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. If the fan is coated, the duct before it usually is too so a full TR19 clean may be due. It’s simpler to plan the work at Lumley now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What you get with us
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Every visit written up, with photos
- Survey first, then a fixed quote

Fan housings and motors
Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Lumley: your questions answered
Does the sea air around Lumley make a difference to extract fan cleaning?
It can, as Lumley is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Lumley during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 6 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Lumley. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Lumley?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
At least as often as the rest of the extract, which BESA guidance sets by daily cooking hours: every 3, 6 or 12 months. Some fans need attention sooner.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. Anything that cannot be reached is recorded, so the record is accurate.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Kitchen extracts in Lumley
Lumley lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 13 pubs and bars and about 5 hotels and B&Bs in and around Lumley, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Fire safety in Lumley falls to West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
A hospital like Havant War Memorial Hospital, about 2.4 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St James Church of England Controlled Primary School or anywhere near Lumley, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A kitchen near Emsworth station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. The timing of a visit to Lumley 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.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Related advice
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Keep access to the fan clear
File the photo report with your other extract records. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
