What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two for most single fans. The timing of a visit to North Mundham is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, 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 any work starts.

Extract fan cleaning in North Mundham
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A heart under strain works harder for less. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found, before signing it off. The work covers in-line fans, axial fans and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are grease escaping from the fan outlet and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease.
For a kitchen in or near North Mundham, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Extract fan cleaning around North Mundham
Sea air reaches North Mundham, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Food Standards Agency data counts about 37 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 10 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of North Mundham. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. North Mundham is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
A hospital like St Richard's Hospital, about 2.1 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Stephen or anywhere around North Mundham, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
North Mundham is about 2 miles south-east of Chichester, in West Sussex.

When something else is needed
Extract fan cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- A motor that has burnt out
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- Damaged fan blades
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.
North Mundham: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in North Mundham?
Kitchens in North Mundham are inspected by Chichester council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Is extract fan cleaning any different in a coastal place like North Mundham?
It can. North Mundham is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
Leave it or put it right?
A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Many fan problems start with grease, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
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. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What we are called out for in North Mundham
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan and puts strain on the bearings. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan shaking on its mounts
Goodwood House, about 4 miles north, is one of the historic houses near North Mundham; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: cracks, bent blades or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so we clean what we safely can.
How we price extract fan cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The scale of the work
- The times the site is available
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
