Extract fan cleaning in Northchapel, done properly
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing, and that is what we clean. The work covers roof-mounted fans, centrifugal fans and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease.
Work in a small place like Northchapel starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Grease, kitchens and Northchapel
The FSA’s data shows about 3 pubs, bars and clubs registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Northchapel. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Environmental health officers from Chichester council inspect food businesses in Northchapel. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Northchapel is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Where a hall near The Parish Church of St Michael, or anywhere in Northchapel, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Petworth House, about 4.9 miles south, is one of the historic houses near Northchapel; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Haslemere and District Hospital is the nearest hospital to Northchapel, about 3.7 miles north-west.

Common questions in Northchapel
Do you cover smaller places like Northchapel?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Northchapel included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who inspects food businesses in Northchapel?
The local authority for Northchapel is Chichester council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, we do. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
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.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Part by part
Impellers and blades
The blades of the impeller do the work, and it collects grease unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.

For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. For a village or hamlet like Northchapel, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Related advice
Why act early in Northchapel
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Somewhere as small as Northchapel, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.

When it’s something else
Extract fan cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:
- A fan that won’t start
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
- Discharge points
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
