How we handle extract fan cleaning in Nuthurst
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Nuthurst, normally within one working day. Common call-outs are for vibration from an unbalanced impeller and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles, across discharge points, fan housings and roof-mounted fans.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Why it’s worth doing now in Nuthurst
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger, while the motor runs under more strain. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
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.

Nuthurst kitchens: local notes
Nuthurst is about 34 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Kitchens in Nuthurst get their food hygiene inspections from Horsham council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Nuthurst, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Horsham Hospital (about 3.4 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Nuthurst, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- 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
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

What affects the quote in Nuthurst
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The size of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition we find in the survey
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 the price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
What we are called out for in Nuthurst
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. The difference throws the impeller off balance, wearing bearings and mounts. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Andrew's CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- When the next visit should be, and why
FAQs for Nuthurst
Do you work at weekends in Nuthurst?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Nuthurst does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you cover smaller places like Nuthurst?
Yes, Nuthurst is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Nuthurst?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
We also repair and replace extract fans. If cleaning shows a worn motor, bearings or impeller, we will tell you and quote for the repair.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. As a guide, it takes an hour or two for most single fans.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
We always isolate the fan first, so it cannot start while we work. With the extract off, the kitchen can’t cook, so we work out of hours.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Damaged fan blades
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
