West Sussex · Extract fan cleaning
Nyetimber extract fan cleaning
Professional extract fan cleaning in and around Nyetimber, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and photos.
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A fan shaking on its mounts
Common problems we fix in Nyetimber
How fast a fan gets greasy in Nyetimber depends on the cooking: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital (about 2.8 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Extract fan cleaning in Nyetimber, done properly
We have been trading since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers in-line fans, axial fans and discharge points, and people most often call us about a fan that hums, whines or rumbles and hot, greasy smells near the fan.
In a smaller place like Nyetimber, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
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.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Visits to a place like Nyetimber are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear loose items from the work area

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- An impeller that is bent or split
- Wiring faults to the fan
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on in Nyetimber
- Roof-mounted fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Common questions in Nyetimber
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Nyetimber?
Food hygiene inspections in Nyetimber are carried out by Arun council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Does being near the coast affect extract fan cleaning in Nyetimber?
It can. Nyetimber is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
It depends on how many hours the kitchen cooks, under BESA guidance. At the extremes, that’s 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
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.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, we can clean just the fan. That helps when the fan needs attention before the next full clean, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so the site doesn’t lose a service.
Do you cover Nyetimber?
Yes. Nyetimber is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Nyetimber
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
- The scale of the work
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Kitchen extracts in Nyetimber
Sea air reaches Nyetimber, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Look up Nyetimber on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 10 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 6 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Nyetimber. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Kitchens in Nyetimber get their food hygiene inspections from Arun council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Rose Green Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of St Thomas A Becket or elsewhere in Nyetimber, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Part by part
Wall fans
Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them and we check the area around the outlet. We note any grease around the fan.
