In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. 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.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Extract fan cleaning in North Heath, done properly
If the extract fan in North Heath has become noisy, weak or greasy? A few details or a photo help when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will send you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in North Heath, typically within one working day. The work covers roof-mounted fans, discharge points and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are a fan left out of previous cleans and a fan shaking on its mounts.
For a kitchen in or near North Heath, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
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.

FAQs for North Heath
Who is the fire and rescue service for North Heath?
Fire safety enforcement in North Heath is handled by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you come to North Heath after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it can’t run during the clean. With the extract off, the kitchen can’t cook, so we work out of hours.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in North Heath?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before work begins.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in North Heath
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
- Parking and loading at the site
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
If you need extract fan cleaning in North Heath, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes an hour or two for most single fans. Somewhere like North Heath, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- 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.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
What the work involves, part by part
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface and we check the area around the outlet. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Why it’s worth doing now in North Heath
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. Planning a trip to North Heath ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Keep access to the fan clear
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Keep the route to the fan clear. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
