How we handle extract fan cleaning in Newtimber
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will send you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Newtimber, normally within one working day. The work covers axial fans, roof-mounted fans and fan housings, and people most often call us about a fan left out of previous cleans and a heavily greased fan housing.
In a village or hamlet like Newtimber, 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Common questions in Newtimber
Will you come out to Newtimber?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which council inspects kitchens in Newtimber?
That is Mid Sussex council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Newtimber. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, it should be. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. File it with your other extract records.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
Cleaning removes grease, but it cannot fix worn parts. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Uneven grease on the impeller often causes it. After cleaning, we’ll tell you if wear or damage is also involved.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The times the site is available
- The size of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The postcode and the type of business
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Want a quote for extract fan cleaning? Please call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site. We’ll talk you through the work and send you a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
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.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Newtimber
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A motor area thick with grease
- A fan that has never been cleaned
Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St John Evangelist or anywhere around Newtimber, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What to look for in a quote
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the price is fixed
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

Extract fan cleaning in Newtimber: the local picture
There are about 7 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Newtimber, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Food hygiene inspections in Newtimber are the job of Mid Sussex council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Newtimber is covered by 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as The Dene Hospital (about 4.2 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Portslade Manor is about 4.6 miles south), access may need planning.
Newtimber is about 5 miles south-west of Burgess Hill, in West Sussex. Sites in Newtimber get the same service as everywhere we cover: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos. Newtimber is one of 371 towns, villages and districts in West Sussex we cover for extract fan cleaning. We also work in Brighton, around 6 miles away.
All of BN6 is covered for extract fan cleaning, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Close by, we work in Clayton (2 miles east), Hurstpierpoint (2 miles north), Hurst Wickham (2 miles north-east), Hassocks (2 miles north-east) and Keymer (3 miles north-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Crawley (14 miles north), Horsham (12 miles north-west), Worthing (11 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (8 miles north-east), Burgess Hill (5 miles north-east) and Shoreham-by-Sea (6 miles south-west).
What’s near Newtimber
For rail, the closest station is Hassocks station, about 2.4 miles north-east of the centre. A little further out are The Dene Hospital (4.2 miles north) and The Budding Foundation Museum of Gardening (2.1 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s Woods Mill and Wolstonbury Hill.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Never cook with a filter missing
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Newtimber, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
