Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Lurgashall
We’ve been trading since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. Common call-outs are for fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and less air being pulled from the kitchen, on discharge points, axial fans and fan housings.
Somewhere as small as Lurgashall, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Lurgashall: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Lurgashall?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Lurgashall?
That is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. Keep it with your maintenance log.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum in BESA guidance. Heavy use means at least every 3 months, light use at least every 12, fan included.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
How it works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Lurgashall and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Related advice
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
What the work involves, part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. We clean it along with the blades.
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
How we price extract fan cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Other services in Lurgashall
Kitchen extracts in Lurgashall
Environmental health officers from Chichester council inspect food businesses in Lurgashall. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Lurgashall falls to 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.
Historic houses near Lurgashall, such as Petworth House about 3.9 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Lawrence or anywhere around Lurgashall, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Midhurst Community Hospital (about 4.1 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
