Extract fan cleaning in Mannings Heath
We’ve been trading since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. The work covers axial fans, in-line fans and centrifugal fans, and the jobs we see most are a fan shaking on its mounts and grease stains around the discharge.
Work in a small place like Mannings Heath 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Mannings Heath before we set off.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What state the system is in
- The size of the system
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of the Good Shepherd or elsewhere in Mannings Heath, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Term dates shape school work: for a school like The Forest School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Mannings Heath questions
Do you work overnight in Mannings Heath?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Mannings Heath keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Mannings Heath?
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Mannings Heath. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract, from every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours of cooking a day to every 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. Typically it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
We always isolate the fan first, so it cannot run during the clean. With the extract off, the kitchen cannot cook, so we work out of hours.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
If the fan needs more than a clean, we will say so plainly. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
What we are called out for in Mannings Heath
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Horsham Hospital is the nearest hospital to Mannings Heath, about 2.5 miles north-west.
